Painted Daisys & a small Hosta garden in the background w/Red Japanese Maple for some color. -
Late November in the Endless Mt.s of PA. My large perennial garden to the left of the driveway & another small garden under a beech tree which contains climatis, blackeyed susans, peonys, a varagated hosta & a barberry bush. -
A small garden which hides our ugly well casing -beneath the giant blue hosta- This is early spring, but comes alive with the blooms of the Blackeyed Susans & a hanging basket on a hook. -
One single Hen that I planted on my stonewall, turned into 'many'. Thinking it needed a little color, I added a piece of sedum-which also ended up loving it there! -
One of many of my planters- containing a black and a green sweet potatoe vine, a colius, Alyssum and cranesbill. -
My Hayrack- white & pink million bells with Alyssum, Colius, bergundy Pansys and Artemisia/Silver Brocade -
another view of pic no.5 from a different angle. -
Just planted this week so it hasn't had a chance to fill in but I think the colors will really be awesome once they all gets some growth. Huechera-coralbell, an african daisy, cranesbill-black beauty and annual pink -
White coneflowers -
my colius -
saw this bee & had to take a pic of it on the galardia -
my old antique bike w/basket filled with white petunia's, red geranium & blue lobielia -
antique chair with an array of annuals & perennials- blanketflower/galardia, hen & chick, bluechip campanula, pink, and white petunia's -
my little hosta garden which covers a steep but short bank. In the center is a Red Japanese Maple and to the right of that is a small cluster of Black-eyed susans. A very pretty sight when the flowers are in bloom. -
my old boots filled with hens & chicks & a little red sedum. Friends always rave about this boot. :) -
My old wheelbarrow which sits down by the road, filled with all annuals: white impatiens, maragolds assorted colored Colius and a maragold or two. -

my three hanging baskets haging from a tree down by the pond.
My gardens are mostly perennials, with a mixture of annuals and some decorative planters. I have many plans for more gardens & arrangements, I just need more time & energy. Our home & yard is on the sloped side of a mountain & the soil is very hard & tends to have a lot of rocks in it, making any start to a new gardenscape very time consuming. Which is also why I like to do decorator pot plantings.
