Terry’s Creative North Carolina Garden

Repurposed items find new life amid the flowers

Today we’re in Hillsborough, North Carolina, where Terry combines beautiful plants with unusual pieces of garden art and sculpture made from repurposed materials.

tall plants with small purple flowersMoney plant (Lunaria annua, Zones 5–9) is a biennial that thrives in moderately shaded spots, putting up clouds of purple flowers in the spring that transform into the silvery, coin-shaped seedpods that give it its common name.

They’re both performing in front of a wonderful shed/greenhouse created from old windows.
