Our Friends' Garden

Jim and Darrell won "The Best Front Yard" in Avondale Estates this July.

At the time of the judging, the front had lillies exploding in color.
Now, the Garden has many cool colors and great textural differences.

The 'Iron Weed' that was a gift from a former neighbor makes Jim so happy. At nearly 7 ft. tall, the splash of purple towers above everything else in it's bed.
A Gardening Guru, Jim is my 'go to guy' for many answers to my questions.

He is a terrific plantsman with an extremely generous nature ! When we arrived at their home, Jim was starting cuttings of his new favorite lacecap hydrangea. Immediately, he offers me some.
Really wonderful guy who exudes sincere romanticism in a Garden !

This photo is of a coleus that he's kept going for a couple of years. Its color punctuates the property expertly.
