Today we’re in southeastern Pennsylvania (Zone 6b) visiting Rhoda Molin’s beautiful spring garden. An arbor covered with the bright orange flowers of crossvine (Bignonia capreolata, Zones 5–9) welcomes you to explore the rest of the garden. Just visible in the foreground at the top is a single white bloom on a sweet bay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana, Zones 5–10) that fills the whole garden with its incredible scent. Tucked between rocks and backed up by the dark foliage of a Japanese map...

Today’s photos are from Wendy Quereau. We’ve visited her garden before (Beauty From Wendy’s Garden), and it is always a pleasure to see it again. I thought I’d send more photos to you this morning from my garden in Zone 6A in southeastern Pennsylvania. Summers are hot and humid here, and we deal with dry spells. Having gardened here for 43 years, I still enjoy learning and trying new plants and combinations. It’s satisfying to give ideas and information to the newer gardeners among us....

I like to incorporate a lot of color in my gardens. While flowers are a big part of what provides that color, foliage can also play a large role. Leaves in different shades of green, blue—and one of my favorites—purple, can be used to provide colorful interest in the garden. Fortunately, we have some great purple shrubs and trees from which to choose. These plants do well in challenging conditions, such as dry, hot, or sunny areas, and they are winter hardy as well. Here are some of my favor...

I’m Katie. I’m a proud Midwesterner, and all of these photos are from my Indiana backyard garden. By day, I am a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist. By weekend and summer, I turn full-fledged gardener and spend most of my time in my humble backyard paradise. About six years ago, I began transforming our empty, desolate, almost full-acre yard to rich, healthy ecosystems in the form of garden beds, shrubs, and trees. In addition to this, I “raise” monarchs and proudly wear ...

Today’s photos are from Dede Lifgren. Welcome to my garden in Brewster, New York (Zone 6a). I am an artist and garden lover. Much of my artwork centers around my garden. Or is it the other way around? Either way, I love to take full advantage of both! My pineapple columns and some potted impatiens (Impatiens walleriana, Zones 10–11 or as an annual) greet visitors at the entryway. In the main garden, trickling water can be heard from the fountain as you enter the property. A cypress (Chamaecy...

Fall is a wonderful time in the garden. The cool, crisp air encourages plants toward dormancy; perennial foliage starts to yellow and wither as deciduous trees paint the landscape with a kaleidoscope of colors. As we reluctantly accept the inevitable and begin preparing our gardens for winter, we can ease the transition by planting selections that provide color and excitement at this time of year. While many gardeners have traditionally turned to mums (Chrysanthemum spp. and cvs., Zones 5–9)...

Today we’re visiting with Sharon Danovich Lupone in Pittsburgh. We’ve been to her garden before (Sharon’s Pennsylvania Garden, Part 2 and Sharon’s Pennsylvania Garden), and today she’s sharing some views of the garden is it moves into fall. As summer winds down, the blooms of the panicle hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata, Zones 3–8) take on rosey hues. Comfortable chairs invite you to sit and enjoy the garden. A pot of coleus (Coleus scutellarioides, Zones 9–11 or as an annual) give...

Bee balm (Monarda spp. and cvs., Zones 4–9) has long been a garden staple for its bold flower colors. The common name comes from the fact that the resin is a natural remedy to soothe the ache of bee stings. But this plant is better known in the gardening world for being a favorite of many pollinators, including bees. The popular species scarlet bee balm (Monarda didyma, Zones 4–9) is native to North America, as are some others. Here are six of my favorite nativar and native bee balms with co...

Yes, I realize that 2021 was the hottest on record with temperatures reaching 108°F, and we can expect the weather to continue to change radically. However, along with drought-tolerant plant choices we should also consider water-loving perennial plants. As wet as the climate can be in the Pacific Northwest, we should all be embracing plants that love moisture. The year 2022 has been a bad one for tender or nonhardy things in my garden, largely due to the wet weather. The hybrid strawberry tree ...
