Enjoying a beloved garden before a move
Today we ’re taking a bittersweet garden tour with Stephanie Edwards in Little Rock , Arkansas ( Zone 8a ) as she ready to move to a raw garden midway across the country .
We are affect to Florida in a few weeks , and while I ’m excited for Modern plants and new hypothesis , I ’m sad to leave my Arkansas garden of three year . Goodbye , clay soiland tons of crystal rock ; hello , Florida sand . This garden was my first attempt at growing anything . It set out withblackberries . I buy a plant and planted it along the fencing , and every sidereal day I croak out to see what it had done . I agnize pretty cursorily that I postulate more plants to watch ! Most of my plants are started from seed or cuttings or gifted from friends and family . Below are some of my favorite pictures .
Blackberry lilies(Belamcandachinensis , Zones 5–9 ) andconeflowers(Echinacea purpurea , Zones 3–9 ) .
I dwell in Little Rock in a neighborhood call off Crystal Valley . Every time I dig a cakehole I see more crystal rock , so I made arock garden . These are all the careen I unearthed while planting . The plant are brilliant dianthus(Dianthusdeltoides‘Brilliant ’ , Zones 2–9 ) and varioussedums .
