Linda in New Hampshire is sharing her garden with us today, with some images of hope after winter damage.
This will be my third summer in this house after relocating from the Garden State (New Jersey) to the Granite State (New Hampshire). Spring takes a bit longer to arrive up here, so I am learning to be patient. I garden as a hobby but would love to become a Master Gardener eventually, maybe in retirement.
Fortunately, the previous owner here was a talented gardener and left a lot for me to work with (and on). My first year here was spent playing “Name That Plant.” The garden felt a little chaotic to me, so I have been trying to tame it a bit without losing the wonderful natural feel to it.
Have a garden you’d like to share?
Have photos to share? We’d love to see your garden, a particular collection of plants you love, or a wonderful garden you had the chance to visit!
To submit, send 5-10 photos to GPOD@finegardening.com along with some information about the plants in the pictures and where you took the photos. We’d love to hear where you are located, how long you’ve been gardening, successes you are proud of, failures you learned from, hopes for the future, favorite plants, or funny stories from your garden.
If you want to send photos in separate emails to the GPOD email box that is just fine.

Your boatloads of herbs look quite fun as well as nutritious. They have to put a smile on every visitor's face. And that fringe tree is spectacular in full bloom...what an intoxicating sight. I would say that you have been the perfect owner for this home and property as you have nurtured and refined what was already in place and made it your own with new additions.
What a beautiful place. So happy for you that your garden is coming back after a hard winter! Good info to know about the Lady's Slipper and symbiotic relationship with the fungus in the soil. You don't need "master gardener" training, you already know what you are doing! That flagstone path and perennial border is gorgeous!
Just gorgeous!
Wonderful garden - the Lady Slipper and lily of the valley made my heart smile!
Linda, each of us that participate in this GPOD is hopeful that when we have to leave our current gardens, we have a gardener just like you to nurture, edit, and love the plants that we have chosen for the space. You are doing a beautiful job! Carry on!
