Summertime is not usually a prime time for garden tours. It is HOT, the splashy tulips and azaleas, the graceful dogwoods and redbuds – all have faded to green. In fact, summer landscapes are often just GREEN with a few slashes of daylilies, crape myrtles and potted annuals. I will show you how to make your summer landscape exciting! These pictures were taken in my garden from June through September.
