Enjoying a day on Conesus Lake in western NY. Hostas abound in a shade garden. Mother Nature sprinkled in the perfect aster to compliment the purple of the hosta.
Gardens add beauty and charm to our lifestyle. The tranquil peace and serenity works like a balm over the stress and rush that make up the modern world. Garden designs are on the priority list for both homemakers and home builders more than ever before.
Companions use garden space efficiently. Vining plants cover the ground, upright plants grow up. Two plants in one patch. This is double edged use of companion and a short exception to this rule is although a vining plant is intended to "cover the ground" that may only be due to not thinking of using supports such as fencing, lattices, or overhead stringing to direct the vining aspect to a vertical aspect.
this is lovely,, I found myself crooking my neck to read all the writing, beautiful
