 | Flower gardens are a classic landscaping choice that will add beauty to your home and give you a new connection with the earth. |
 | Spring flowering bulbs exuberantly herald the end of winter with bright blasts of color like fireworks in slow motion. When we squirrel away these gems in the fall, we almost forget about them. Then they pleasantly surprise us as they emerge the following spring when everything else is still drab and barren. |
 | Tall perennials play a number of roles in the landscape. A tall perennial makes a great accent plant, calling attention to itself as it towers over the garden. A mass of tall perennials makes the perfect backdrop for a well-designed bed. Tall perennials are also perfect for covering bare walls or fences. Tall perennials can also form natural screens or borders to create private outdoor spaces. |
Flower shows are an invaluable resource for gardeners, from the novice to the most experienced. |
Gardening is a subjective art. There are those who swear by annuals for their glorious bounty of continuous color all season long and those who pick perennials every time. Each has its merits and shortcomings, but when you consider them together, you get the best of both worlds. |
