My Garden Journal
by Judith Irven
Welcome to my garden journal, with a potpourri of ideas and inspirations for gardeners everywhere.
I write about topics that interest me personally, both as a dirt-under-the-fingernails gardener and as a practicing landscape designer, including:
– The wider landscape as it inspires my designs,
– Profiles of plants that thrive in my Vermont garden,
– Techniques for growing food and cooking from the garden,
– The magic of the ever-changing seasons of our New England gardens,
– Inspirations gleaned from visiting great gardens, both public and private.
A century of separation
Two gardens, created a century apart, provide a quick lesson in evolving garden fashions.
Spring pruning
A pruning blitz not only makes for better looking shrubs, it also spruces up the garden.
Spring magic
Ephemeral spring flowers, with us so briefly, most surely are nature’s opportunists
Gift to the neighborhood
These beautiful gardens at the edge of the road bring delight to all who pass by.
