Carolyn’s New Jersey Garden - FineGardening
Abstract
My name is Carolyn McKibbin, and I started this garden on my 2/3-acre suburban property in Summit, New Jersey, seven years ago. Named Colt Corner gardens, it is situated in Zone 6b among a thriving population of deer, rabbits, and chipmunks. A plant addict and "Cram-scaper," my husband calls my garden "Seymour." One of my missions in life is to share seeds, volunteers, and plant divisions with friends and neighbors who are new to gardening. These moss rocks were installed for soil retention seven years ago when the garden was first established. I refresh the terra-cotta urn's plantings with each season. A friend recently bought a house for complete demolition and let me salvage a patch of Adiantum pedatum, which I divided and planted along this walkway in fall 2021. We'd love to hear where you are located, how long you've been gardening, successes you are proud of, failures you learned from, hopes for the future, favorite plants, or funny stories from your garden.
