Today ’s photos are from Cheryl Monroe in Jefferson , Massachusetts . Cheryl says,“I garden on an Akka of what was once a glacially depositied sand pit , turned into a suburban development . When we moved here 15 years ago we had sand , sand , and more sand , but no vegetation whatsoever , unless you count the hyrdo - semen the developer sprayed over the entire Accho .
“ Over the next few years we brought in ( by ourselves ) rocks , soil , trees , and plants . We did all our own hardscaping and planting , learning as we give way along , and now have a grounds made up of many different garden and outside spaces , include a expectant pond and basket ball court of law for the Thomas Kid I needed to landscape around , a rock’n’roll garden , several mixed shrub and recurrent borders , and a pocket-size garden commit to pinkish flower .
“ I am a collector of sorts , and have a potpourri of clematis , sedum , and rose . My ultimate goal is an English cottage feel , which is difficult given our lack of one-time stone rampart and tree and our soil problems . It may be a dreaming , but the vision in my psyche looks bully !
“ After spending lots of meter taking classes in gardening , and especially find out everything I could about clematis , roses , and design , I now talk to local garden club and libraries about gardening and have a web log ( www.gardenintheburrow.com ) that I use to tell the story of the garden and link info I need to portion out with the grouping I verbalise to .
“ In the exposure you may some of the rose I grow , my potting bench and arbor leading to the back garden , a persuasion of the pink garden that is plant outside our family room window , and the antique windows we set up in the fencing so when you are in the pool area you may consider the back gardens and beyond . ”Gorgeous , Cheryl !
