| The best garden in the world is only as good as its maintenance. That includes all the old maxims like “Feed the soil not the plants.” | |
|
|
| A knowledge of plant material is essential to a beautiful garden, when to feed, prune, transplant, where to plant and what to plant. | |
|
|
| Containers add depth. Custom planters and ceramics work well as do recycled elements like old fountains highlighting the season. | |
|
|
| Asiatic lilies and rhododendrons give an exotic feel. Morning sun for the rhodo and afternoon for the lily to spread its fragrance. | |
|
|
| Use natives like redbud, Cercis candadensis, on ravines or in woodland gardens. Moss phlox and rock walls are a classic. | |
|
|
| Grass and monkshood keep interest in a perennial border right into November. A fragrant clematis pushes an old spirea over the top. | |
