I LOVE WATCHING MY GARDEN GROW.
......A FEW MONTHS BACK I HIRED NORFOLK LANDSCAPING TALENT JOHN PRINCE TO HELP MAX OUT THE POTENTIAL IN MY YARD. NOT ONLY DOES JOHN SUGGEST PLANTS THAT WILL THRIVE IN OUR AREA, BUT HE IS ALSO A PLANT SNOB...AND I MEAN THAT AS A COMPLIMENT!!!-I'M A FABRIC SNOB SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS CHARACTERISTIC!!!!..PLUS, I KNEW I WAS GETTING GOOD STUFF!! LOVING MY YARD'S NEW LOOK!!!
HERE ARE A FEW PICS.....

THE NEW CRINUM PLANTS HAVE BEAUTIFUL FOLIAGE BUT WILL LOOK AMAZING WITH THE PINK BLOOMS IN A FEW WEEKS!
THIS AREA USED TO BE A MUD PIT......A NEW WALKWAY WAS A MUST!!!

NOW ITS NOT ONLY FUNCTIONAL BUT BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT FROM INSIDE AND OUT! THE NEW CAST IRON PLANTS WILL THICKEN UP INTO A LUSH LANDSCAPE.

AND OUT FRONT...........
MY ROHDEA JAPONICA IS A WELCOME CHANGE THAT REPLACED ONLY RATTY LOOKING LARIOPE. THESE WILL ALSO THICKEN UP AND SHOW RED BERRIES.
NEXT UP? ABSOLUTELY HATE THE UGLY CONCRETE SIDEWALK-YUK!!! WILL SOMEDAY REPLACE WITH SAME WALKWAY FROM BACK!!
Your garden is going to be beautiful! Do you mind telling me the name of the paint color on your house? Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThx nancy! House color is Ben moore "river gorge gray".
Deletelooks great Lucy! We just landscaped the front....boxwoods and hydrangea. Praying they aren't drowned in all of the rain we are having
ReplyDeleteLoving the hydrangea's and that palm plant out back, everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteJust found your lovely blog--will peruse every picture this evening after the little ones go to bed. So many beautiful images! Especially loved the new "snob plants"--I'm a garden & fabric-snob, too! Well done!!
