Spring 2006 -509
Harris Avenue
Just a few years ago Phyllis Day created a cottage garden that
is very compatible with her Hyde Park cottage.
Wanting to combine her love for flowers and a desire to use less
water, she now has a yard that beckons you in through its vine
covered trellis and surrounds you with color.
She’s created an oval of lawn
surrounded by limestone pavers that allow you to walk up to the
flowering plants to take a closer
look.
  
Her rainbarrels
allow enough water for her container plants that help provide
year-round color to the garden.

You'll find a variety of
plant types throughout the garden from the delicate, multi-colored
blooms of the columbine to the structural beauty of the burford
holly with its bright red berries. |
Phyllis has created a welcoming
landscape that provides variety and color throughout the year.
