Touring the Late August Garden

                                                       Hello everyone,
                      It is a nice day for a garden tour so let's go shall we!

                            This is my favorite part of the garden right now. It is the Allee garden leading to the pond.

           This part of the garden is a new extension last fall. It filled in quickly as we divided heathly sized clumps of perennials from other parts of the garden for the most part. The hollyhocks I started from seed and they have done well considering the dry summer.

                 We have so many varieties of phlox in the garden that put on a good show in August.

  This shrub Clethra not only looks pretty but has a wonderful fragrance too.

                                               Martha's Garden (above& below)

  You can see this is my fav,right now.
