Views of a much-loved garden
Today ’s photos are from Ellie Gilbert .
This is my fifth submission toFine Gardening ’s Garden Photo of the Day . ( See previous postsSeasonal Views of a Special Garden in MAandMaking a Garden That Takes the Drought . ) I ’m located in Plymouth , Massachusetts , and have been gardening on our property for about 18 years , although horticulture has been part of my life for over 75 years ! The gardens I ’ve highlighted here consist primarily of the perennials and shrub that surround our terrace and the ones I ’ve planted over the years on a unconscionable and featureless hill behind our house .
As a way to keep busybodied and entertained during the pandemic and these cold winter calendar month , I ’ve been going through hundreds of old exposure of my garden . The ace I have take have not appeared in my earlier submissions but still show some of my favorite garden views and the plants I specially know .
June and early July are among my preferent time to be in my Zone 6b garden . bush and perennials are burst with blossoms , exposing an early palette of pink and purples . As the summer progress , these give way to more blues , yellows , and mysterious wine colouring material . Here are some examples of what my garden has to offer .
The patio garden as reckon from the top of the hill .
The pitcher’s mound garden in other spring includes a ‘ Rosebud’azalea(Rhododendron‘Rosebud ’ , Zone 5–9 ) .
