I’m taking mental notes and photos of my lush August annual plantings and getting ideas on some garden editing. I love the impact and splashes of color from my sunpatiens and annual pennisetum rubrum grass. Then there are my pots of angel’s trumpet and oleander. I replaced a small hanging basket I didn’t water enough at our girls’ playset.
There’s just too much time left in the growing season to look at something that isn’t blooming and beautiful. My perennial geranium boom chocolatta is blooming like crazy, and the perennial hibiscus and anemone are all budded up. I love to do a daily walk around to take it all in, enjoy it in the moment, then have fun letting new ideas and possibilities swirl in my mind. A few notes this week:
-
Our fall crop of annuals and mums are coming along nicely, so watch for some in store by the middle of the month, with the full fall lineup ready next month.
-
Save the date for our Fall Open House on Sunday, September 10. Fall workshops will be posted any day now.
-
