Flower Garden IV – Summer Set

The garden. What a wonderful place it is. A place where flowers bloom. And the world becomes magical. This is a set about summer. A summer set. Made of flowers. My garden doesn't have many different types of flowers. These are marigolds, dahlias, asters, zinnias. All of these flowers grow quite well. And are suitable for a beginner gardener

Flower Garden III – Purple Dreams

Asters grow in my garden. They come in a variety of colors. And the good thing is, if you mix them, you'll get a huge variety of colors. And many unexpected flowers of all colors will grow. Let's look at purple. Even that color exists.

Flower Gallery X – Asters, flowers like stars, magic

Flowers are a truly beautiful sight. And such beautiful flowers can grow in your garden. These are asters. Like something from outer space. Cosmic visitors. Almost aliens. Sunny. Such rays of light in every direction. Like stars.

My sunny spot in the garden

This summer I had a garden. And I'm so happy about it. This is what I was aiming for. To grow a garden. I'm talking about the summer of 2025. Now I can happily write about my garden. Not about how I grew the plants. And I did that carefully. Not knowing everything how to do it.

Flower Gallery VI – Cosmic Solar Asters

Flowers are little magicians. And with them are their young friends – bees. You don't often see them on the flowers themselves. You have to take a closer look. Bright and beautiful asters, for example. Such beautiful flowers. For bees, they are simply gigantic. Like entire suns in the cosmic space of the garden.

How Do You Design A #WildlifeCorridor For #Maine Garden Design?

Excerpt:

"Plant Palette: #NativeSpecies and Layering for Maine

Choose plants that are native to your Maine ecoregion and that provide multiple functions: forage, cover, nesting structure, and seasonal continuity.

- Canopy and large trees (plant for future shade and mast): white pine (Pinus strobus), red #maple (Acer rubrum), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), red oak (Quercus rubra), balsam fir.
- Small trees and large shrubs (structure and fruit): serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.), crabapple (Malus spp. native selections), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana).
- Shrubs for berries and cover: highbush #blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), #winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata), highbush #cranberry (Viburnum trilobum), black #chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa), #elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), #bayberry (Morella pensylvanica).
- Herbaceous layer and pollinator plants: common #milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), joe-pye weed (Eutrochium spp.), #asters (Symphyotrichum spp.), #goldenrod (Solidago spp.), mountain mint (Pycnanthemum spp.), columbine (Aquilegia canadensis).
- Groundcover and forest floor: bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), wild ginger (Asarum canadense), sedges (Carex spp.), native ferns where appropriate.
- Wetland edge species for riparian corridors: blueflag iris (Iris versicolor), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), #sedges, and #NativeRushes.

Plant choice should reflect site moisture, sunlight, and soil pH. Avoid ornamental cultivars with little #wildlife value and never plant species known to be invasive in Maine such as Japanese #barberry or #bittersweet."

My Joyful Garden

The year is drawing to a close. And winter is here. And I'm thinking about my garden. The one I managed to grow. For the first time in 2025, I managed to grow a garden. A full-fledged garden in front of the house. So to speak, the main sunny achievement of 2025. And the garden is excellent.

A flower garden – in reddish rays

In the sun's rays of the day. And evening. Such a beautiful, golden evening. Drowning in the golden rays of the sun. Or the reddish rays of the sunset. And a bright, sunny day. Flowers bathe in this. In my magical garden.
