Flower Gardens

Flower Gardens Feature Writer: Christine Eirschele

Welcome to an entire flower garden experience.

Gardeners will collect reliable flower information on plants like perennials for shade gardens, summer annuals or wildflowers for native gardens.

From theme flower gardens, create sustainable planting beds or attract pollinators.

In scented flower gardens, consider unusual plant combinations. Speaking of fragrance, nothing says it like rose gardens created or roses planted.

Flower gardeners gain inspiration visiting public gardens. While heritage gardens with a history to tell also have exotic plant collections to see.

And finally, this collection of more flower garden articles will send gardeners on an extraordinary journey of growing plants.

Find more garden musings at the blog for Flower Gardens.
