Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps,
Perennial pleasures plants, and wholesome
harvest
reaps.

enjoys looking at or strolling through a beautiful
garden. Stop by and share with your friends here
your passion for gardens and gardening, as well as
tips, ideas, stories, and photos.
We are
truly blessed in the Central Valley with a climate
that allows us to grow an amazingly wide assortment
of garden plants -- annual and perennial, floral and
vegetative, ornamental and culinary, native and
exotic.
What
are your favorite garden plants? Are
angel's trumpet, agave, astilbe,
bachelor's button, begonia, bergenia, bougainvillea,
bird of paradise, blazing star, butterfly weed,
candytuft, chameleon plant, and chrysanthemum among
your favorite annuals and perennials? Or perhaps you
enjoy crocus, daffodils, gloriosa lily, ginkgo tree, jasmine, mountain lily, hyacinth, arum italicum, scilia campanulata,
tulip, windflowers, morning
glory, sweet pea, snapdragon, foxglove, gerbera
daisy, salvia, cleome, viola, zinnia, impatiens, lily
of the valley, passion flower, Bismarck palm. We'd
love to have your ideas and photos of these as well
as your other favorites.
Do you
have advice on how to start a vegetable or herb garden
or how to make a garden flourish? How
about some tips for window boxes, hanging baskets,
container garden, cottage garden, rock garden, water garden,
drought-resistant garden, country garden, formal
garden? Any ideas on how to make a small garden look
spacious or how to grow apples, persimmons,
apricots, pomegranate, peaches, plums, grapes, pomelo, strawberries, black berries, raspberries
or other fruit in
the back yard or in a pot?
