Columbines have beautiful diversity of form and color. Here are some of the ones at Northview this year. Easy to grow from seed - either sown in winter milk jugs ( see Beforeyougarden blog post) or directly onto bare soil or gravel. I love the pink one with white ruffles. Which one do you like?

White daffodils in a mixed flower bed. We call it

White daffodils in a mixed flower bed. We call it the Book Bed because we used it as a trial area for writing my book - The Ultimate Flower Gardeners Guide. Snowdrops begin the year followed by hyacinths and early daffodils. Now there are mid to late season daffodils, white muscari, and honesty/ silver dollar. Next peonies, columbine and foxgloves. In the summer - Agastache, phlox, feverfew, and Thalictrum. Hardy chrysanthemums round out the year. All of these plants coexist in the Book Bed and pop up seasonally to provide months of flowery interest. I hope that this inspires you to make your own mixed bed. Buy my books for more information. I have a new bulb book coming out this September.

Do you have a sunny well-drained bank? Try growing

Do you have a sunny well-drained bank? Try growing Creeping Phlox - Phlox subulata. Here it is growing between rocks and mulched with small river gravel. Paired with yellow early-blooming dwarf bearded Iris. This is the cultivar ‘Thrice Blessed’.
(This phlox is different from the woodland phlox that needs shade).

Primrose Day 19th April - honoring the British Prime Minister - Benjamin Disraeli who died on this day in 1881. I rushed out when I remembered as the sun was setting on my primroses. The first and last are a Hose-in-hose type that appears to have two flowers tucked together.

How to add more spring flowering bulbs to your gar

How to add more spring flowering bulbs to your garden - grow them in weak turf grass - also known by the Dutch term of ‘Stinze’ planting. In the autumn lever back small sections of grass. Dig a hole in the soil. Add a handful of mixed small-scale bulbs. Firm back the soil and lay the turf back and press down. Wait for the winter - that is the hardest part for me - and enjoy next spring. Do not mow the grass for about 6 weeks after the bulbs flower to let the foliage of the bulbs die down naturally. If you love growing bulbs I have a new bulb book for Timber Press coming out this fall. Follow this IG to learn more about it. #northviewgarden #jennyrosecarey #pennsylvaniagarden #inmygarden #springgarden #growingbulbsingrass

Wisley Supreme witch hazel is light yellow, fragra

Wisley Supreme witch hazel is light yellow, fragrant, pollinator friendly, winter blooming. I have it situated in front of a dark evergreen so that it stands out in the landscape. The bench is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the fragrance. Listen to the loud birds in the video. There was a northern mockingbird sitting above me as I was speaking and sparrows chirping.

Today’s the day. I planted my lovely bright pink wave petunias. Try them in containers and put the right by your door. Easy to grow flowers that bloom and bloom all summer. Snip them back slightly to make the plant bushy. Water when the top of the potting soil is dry.

Philadelphia Flower Show Entrance Garden 2025. I love the colors, the plant choices, the scents and the welcome to the floral feast that awaits you. This show is nearly 200 years old and provides a gathering place for 10 days in late winter for gardeners, floral designers, and garden lovers to gather, show their creativity, and expertise. There are still a few more days to see this once a year extravaganza. I am lecturing today at noon. Come see me there.

Beauty, Bounty, and Biodiversity at Greater Greenv

Beauty, Bounty, and Biodiversity at Greater Greenville Master Gardeners Conference. What a great title and right in keeping with my message about gardening. Thanks for much for inviting me to speak, hosting me, and maneuvering 500 avid gardeners through the day. Fantastic conference. If you want to attend next year you have to sign up early. It sells out fast. Other speakers included my Dan Benarcik, Peter Hatch, Heather Holm and Martin Hamilton. We had fun and learned- a great combination of
