Today’s photos are from Bill Ziebarth.
I live in Duluth, Minnesota, and have been gardening in this location for 26 years. This is the third time I have submitted photos from my gardens. (See the previous posts: A Garden Full of Art and Flowers and Revisiting Bill’s Garden.)
This time I am submitting photos taken by Sarah Jane Hale, a guest at my Sixth Annual Garden Party.
Gloriosa daisies (Rudbeckia hirta, Zones 3–7 but often grown as an annual) and poppy (Papaver somniferum, annual) seed heads
Sarah and her friend Angie are reflected in a mirror in a vintage window that I built into a garden structure.
View from inside my greenhouse looking out
Hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata, Zones 3–8), with a picture frame I built
The view from the other side, with the hydrangeas now beautifully framed
Coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea, Zones 4–8) and rudbeckia
Ramblin’ Red rose (Rosa ‘RADramblin’, Zones 4–7) and bee balm (Monarda didyma, Zones 4–9)
My Zen bell was built by a metal artist from recycled metal.
A snake branch spruce (Picea abies ‘Virgata’, Zones 2–7) is just behind my Zen bell.
Daylilies (Hemerocallis, Zones 3–9), rudbeckia, and miscellaneous flowers
A guitarist/singer played beautiful music under the gazebo.
