Focal point 🌱 Every garden (we’ll almost) ben Focal point 🌱 Every garden (we’ll almost) benefits from long vistas and focal points. Southern gardens, whether compact or linear, can benefit from good design as much as good plant choices. So important to look at others gardens and successful garden designs to inspire our own. This garden vista belongs to the two fellows in the last post…Randy Harelson and Richard Gibbs in New Roads Louisiana. Always an inspiration and quick to share their experience and design expertise. Join our group to learn and be inspired. Link in bio! #southerngardenhistory #southerngardens #gardeninspiration #gardendesign #focalpoint #inspiration

PSA Swipe left 👈🏻 For those hobbiest gardene PSA Swipe left 👈🏻 For those hobbiest gardeners like me, understand what you risk when you don’t purchase Blight Free Certified plant material for your garden. Sadly, last winter I replaced all of the Dwarf English boxwood in my parterre with a Korean variety (hoping for more healthy and less maintenance) Apparently they were blight carriers. My 30 year old American globes became infected and they, along with 19 others around the property had to be extracted and carefully removed yesterday. Be careful what you purchase. 🌱 #asaddayinmygardens #publicserviceannouncement #hazardousmaterialremoval #shouldhaveknownbetter
