North Garden

Our first garden was the North Garden.  It received an upgrade when our daughter decided to get get married and she wanted the reception in the backyard.  It is rather dry and plants have to battle with maple trees for water.  Artemisia, sedums, phlox, heliopsis and several shrubs form the backbone of this garden.

The cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum) in the North Garden will reach over six feet when it blooms in August. Campanula glomerata in early July
