Hodgepodge of Designs

Designs,designs,designs...

How do you figure out what kind of garden design you'd like for your yard ?

Personally I enjoy viewing other gardens as a great guidline.
So I sorted through some magazine pictures (and others I took myself)
to put together what might be interesting to try.
Surprisingly, I couldn't come up with that many !! Darn !

Lighthouse Garden

Hereford Inlet Lighthouse Gardens
Located in North Wildwood,NJ

I love finding gardens to add to my "garden ideas". I think these gardens can be helpful to the gardeners wanting to design a new bed or change an old one. Also it's a good reminder as to what does well different times of the season.

It's a small park surrounding the Lighthouse which has many different garden areas containing over 200 plant varieties. The gardens are planted in the Victorian cottage style and extend right up to the ocean seawall. Some flowers got a little beat up due to heavy rains last week but I think you'll still enjoy the tour.

Leaming's Run Garden

We had a nice afternoon stroll after finding Leaming's Run Garden here in South Jersey.
Not the best time of the year to visit but still worth it.
I have 2 pictures in this post. The first one is the tour.
The second picture is one of 4 or 5 signs they had posted regarding their hummingbird gardens.
What it says regarding feeders puzzles me.

Unofficial Ocean Garden Tour

Found time today to have fun taking pictures.

Most homes on our coast of New Jersey have small properties. The homes near us can be cottage to mansion size. Many of the older homes have porches in the front with tiny front yards. I enjoy taking pictures and it's great when looking for ideas.
