Want to attract new butterflies and other beneficial pollinators to your garden? It’s easy with the right plants and a little patience!
Hello nature lovers! Today I am taking little break from a week of building a pollinator garden to share a bit about how the fruits of my labor are already starting to pay off! Over the past week the butterflies have been visiting all the new plants in droves, as well as hanging out around their favorite large butterfly bush at the entrance to our backyard cottage garden.
Long-blooming perennials and annuals provide color and texture in an August garden that will last through early fall!
Hello garden lovers! Can you believe it is almost mid-August? It’s time for back-to-school, so I have been working hard on all of my late summer chores. This past week I replaced some dead annuals with those that will last through September, and I even maganged to create some new garden spaces during my last week of summer break. School actually starts back for me today, but I had some time this weeked to take a few pictures to share for this fun “Late Summer Flower Power” blog hop hosted by my friend Cecilia of My Thrift Store Addiction!
