We visited Tracy’s beautiful East Bay, California, garden last week, where we focused on her dry garden plantings of cacti, succulents, and other plants that thrive without supplemental water. Today […]

Today we’re visiting with Karen Holmen. A few years back I sent in some pictures of my garden (From Wild to Wonderful and Made for Shade ). Since it always looks different to me—plants die, grow, pop up, get moved or replaced—I decided to send in an update. I live in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and have worked with my property since 1985. When I first moved here we had a lot of old oak trees, several old cottonwoods, buckthorn, various shrubs and weeds, weeds, and more weeds, Some of the t...

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...

Bulbs and tubers are easy to tuck into containers, and they will almost instantly transform a foliage-focused design. Here are a few favorites.

Today we are visiting Margot Navarre’s garden in Bellevue, Washington. I adore my winter and spring gardens but am getting into the summer spirit of gardening. Lysimachia (Lysimachia punctata, Zones 4–8), Alchemilla mollis (Zones 3–8), lavenders (Lavandula species, Zones 5–9) and Nepeta (Zones 3–8) all perform without a lot of water, as well as no fertilizer and no pesticides. There are lots of bees in this space—a healthy ecosystem. It is the sunniest space in my garden, so we grow ...

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...

Today’s photos come from Jonathan Harris, in Maine, who is sharing the garden around his pool, which he calls his Guster Pool Garden, because there are signs on the fence […]

Today we’re visiting with Elaine Esposito. My love for gardening started over 60 years ago when my grandfather, who lived next door, had every variety of flower on his very small lot. He grew poppies, roses, irises, strawflowers, and so many perennials that I now I have in my gardens. My gardens started small but grew larger every year as I experimented with what I could grow to coexist with the many animals who loved them as much as me. I also wanted to enjoy the flowers with the changing wea...

Maxine Brisport in Rotterdam, New York, is welcoming us into her garden today. I started this garden four years ago. It took hours of cutting down very thick foliage (weeds, vines, small trees), as well as removing very large roots, before we could get to the point of preparing the soil for planting. All the hard work clearing this space has paid off! It is now full of beautiful flowers. This variegated foliage is from a different plant than the shasta daisy (Leucanthemum × superbum, Zones 5–...

Amy is taking us along on a visit to an incredible garden today. A visit to Bill and Linda Pinkham’s Virginia garden in each of the four seasons always charms me with new delights. Last fall I submitted photos of their garden that highlighted the value of evergreens for structure and the beauty of decay among the late-blooming perennials (The Magical World of Bill and Linda Pinkham’s Garden). Now it’s summer, and my mother-in-law and I were fortunate to visit the garden again and experienc...
