Hey GPODers! Today we’re back in the flower-filled garden of Heidi Weirether. We first saw her garden a little earlier on in the summer (you check check out that post here: Heidi’s Colorful Garden in Fairfield County) and it’s incredible to see how much has changed in a month’s time! As with much of the northeast this year, Heidi is experiencing incredible hydrangea blooms—but that is just the tip of the floral iceberg in her sensational garden:
Valerie’s Greenhouse and Cutting Garden in Canada

Hey GPODers! If you’re savvy on social media and your IG feed is full of gardens that make you say, “How do they possibly do it??” You might recognize today’s submitter, Valerie or @cottageandblossom. Today we’re looking at her enviable greenhouse and gorgeous cutting garden:
We built our greenhouse/garden house 2 years ago. Just after completion of this project, we had a hurricane in the fall that toppled 7 mature maple trees in our garden. We then put in two split rail fences and built a cutting garden in the now all sunny side and back yard.
Last year was the first year for the cutting garden and I grew everything from seed and used dahlia tubers as well. I was blown away by what I created simply through seeds. The garden is predominantly zinnias, dahlias, cosmos, sunflowers, scarlet runner bean on the trellis, nasturtium around the base of the flowers and hydrangea shrubs along the fence.
I also have grasses, allium and several climbers on the greenhouse such as grapevine, climbing hydrangea and ivy.
Thanks so much!
That fabulous moment when, your plants match the sky! The sunset is putting on a spectacular show in this photo, but Valeries garden is giving it a run for its money.
Another sunset a little earlier on in the season, and the garden was still sporting fabulous colors and textures (I’m a sucker for some foliage, so a few less flowers never bothers me).
A closer look at Valerie’s raised bed cutting garden shows off its abundance and attention to detail. Putting up some raised beds really is as simple as loading up your truck with lumber or buying a high-quality kit. However, when some real thought is put into the placement and arrangement of your raised beds you can create a space that is productive,

How To Plan And Care For A Rose Garden So You Can Enjoy Blooms All Season Long
There's perhaps no flower that's inspired more poetry, art, and prose than a rose. From formal rose gardens surrounded by boxwood hedges to cottage gardens overflowing with roses, foxglove, and native flowers, these layered blooms are held up as the star of the garden. They're carefully pruned into formal arrangements and allowed to climb and cascade over charming trellises.

Growing Honeyberries: Hardy Fruit Bushes to Add to Your Garden
Years ago, I was introduced to honeyberries (known to me as haskap berries) via a delicious jam from the province of Saskatchewan. Little did I know back then that growing honeberries is pretty easy. Though it’s not a fruit commonly known in North America, the shrubs thrive in most of the U.S. and Canada—even Alaska—and make a beautiful garden addition. Once established, the plants can produce for 30 years or more. With a flavor that can be described as a cross between a blueberry and a raspberry—with a bit of a zing—honeyberries are versatil

A naturalistic cottage garden rooted in the wild Derbyshire uplands | House & Garden
Created by a local craftsman using Eyam stone pitchers, the cambered path winds between beds planted with pollinator friendly, cottage garden favourites, including a froth of tall white Artemisia lactiflora ‘Elfenbein’, crimson Knautia macedonica, silvery Stachys byzantina, white Silene fimbriata and lofty, pale yellow Cephalaria gigantea. These tolerate the exposed location and move beautifully in the wind.
