Mary’s Ontario Garden

How the space evolves through the seasons

Today ’s photos are from Mary in Ontario .

We build our home plate in 2008 . Our gardens have develop over the twelvemonth .

The perennial garden is fun to watch go from matted to full and lush . In the winter there is 3 to 6 pes of snow on it . We love thefall colorfrom the maple trees , yellow cedars , and burning bushes .

I lie with when the sun lights up theJapanese maplein the good afternoon . The Quickfire hydrangea are one of my favorite performers for all - year interest . There is always something new or different to learn , and we get so much delectation from our arduous body of work . I like that there are different level and growing condition . We have full - Lord’s Day areas , loaded - shade surface area , and dry and raging daub . I have freshcut flowersfromMaytoNovember .
