Lavender

The scent of lavender is instantly soothing and has been used for it's calming effects for centuries. Lavender does well in a hot, dry, and sunny location with gravelly or sandy soil. That's why it does so well growing in Jenny's garden down by the shore.

Garden Memories

Pictures from Jenny's perennial garden, to take us one day closer to spring!!! (See label to the right further down the page, titled "jenny's garden", for more pictures from her beautiful garden).

Lavender Path

A fragrant lavender pathway in Jenny's garden.


You can only imagine the wonderful fragrance as you take a peek at this lavender pathway. The lavender grows very well at the shore. Maybe from a combination of heavy early morning dew, salt air, and periods of drought.It doesn't flourish half as well in my own garden, which tends to get a lot more water.I have received a couple of lavender sachets from this garden. The fragrance is beautiful!

Queen Of The Prairie

More pictures of queen of the prairie from Jenny's garden.



Like clouds of bubblegum pink cotton candy, queen of the prairie is hard to resist being drawn to in the garden.

Heather

Heather garden



Heather, from the Ericaceae family, grows well in North America in zones 4 and above. It is not a carefree plant however, requiring routine maintenance and proper growing conditions. Grown together in the same garden bed, multiple varieties put on an attractive display.

Rustic Garden Seats and Stone Sculptures In Jenny's Garden

I'm always impressed by the use of stone or benches as focal points in the garden.

This arch was formed by perfect placement of the stones. The stones were not altered to form this shape.

My friend Jenny has the most beautiful hidden garden at the shore.The sea air and Jenny's special touch are both the secret ingredients. Full of beautiful colors and smells, it truly is a little piece of heaven.

To the left you will see wild roses with Queen of The Prairie in the background,a white hollyhock, and Queen Anne's Lace at the bottom. A real English Country Garden combination.
