I take the model of perennial plants and even shrubs as the garden’s “backbone” with pockets of annual planting that must be “flipped’ multiple times a year.

if you have a gardener in your life, I promise, these items would be received with rejoicing.

The challenge is to take the spirit of the abundantly blooming, effervescent English garden and translate it to something that is both possible with climate and plant palette here in the Southeastern US.
