Scenes from a gardener-florist’s garden
Today we ’re in southern Massachusetts at Dandelion House Gardens , home of Debbie Bosworth .
I ’ve been gardening for 30 year , and my garden in this home plate are about 10 years older , with some annual tweak here and there . I have herbaceous beds and about 800 square foot of raised bottom for emasculated flowers . I ’m a nurseryman - flower store and a wedding flowers event flower store .
Pinkish - purple bee balm ( Monarda , Zones 4–7 ) and the big , dreary bloom heads ofhydrangea(Hydrangeamacrophylla , Zones 5–9 )
A beautiful perennialsunflower(looks likeHelianthus‘Lemon Queen ’ , Zones 5–9 ) is loaded with cushy yellow flowers , which are surely a big hit with the local pollinators .
You make love a nurseryman - flower store would have some dahlia ( Dahliavariabilis , Zones 8–10 or as a tender electric-light bulb ) ! This one boasts beautiful moody foliage that complements the bright heyday perfectly . I pick out a humblebee love the blooms as well .
Looking down the raise beds for slashed efflorescence , with more dahlia , this one is a long - stemmed form utter for cutting . Unlike other florist lynchpin that are maturate and then ship all over the world , dahlia blooms do n’t sustain up in shipping , so these beautiful blooms are generally only available from local flower farmers or your own garden patch .
A simple but beautiful combining ofwinterberry holly(Ilexverticillata , Zones 3–9 ) and variegated grass ( Miscanthussinensis , Zones 5–9 )
boastful thump of Autumn Joysedum(Hylotelephiumspectabile‘Herbstfreude ’ , Zones 3–9 ) are in their late - summertime peak blooming .
deletion - flower beds : dahlia on the right hand , and tall zinnias ( Zinniaelegans , annual ) on the left .
