Fall in Anne’s Northern Garden

A quiet season in the garden

We ’re off to Canada today to visit Anne ’s garden .

You have chew the fat my garden before(A Garden That Works With Nature Instead of struggle It).We are locate not far from Ottawa , Ontario , in a rural maturation . I think it would be nice to visit it in fall , a few year later .

garden on the edge of an arid alvar environs is sometimes achallengebut often a delight . The trick is to work with the environment instead of trying to vary it . The limestone outcroppings all over our garden are a feature of the alvar environment , and we have embraced them .

Since the last meter , I have summate a permaculture berm in a corner of thefront yardand have grown somepumpkinandsquashon it . I have preserve to encouragenative plantsin the borders ( e.g. ,asters , goldenrods , columbines ) and have noticed a distinct increase in pollinators confabulate . I have also planted apollinator gardenarea on the side ( anise Hyssopus officinalis , echinops , lysimachia , etc . ) and have taken out someinvasive species(Norway maple , European buckthorn ) . The latter is still a major issue .

The garden is an ever - changing being . Sometimes it ’s difficult to keep on top of it , but then , nature has its fashion .

I hope you savor my autumn garden .

In this mid - fall view from the road at the entrance to the place you may seered maple(Acer rubrum , Zones 3–9 ) , staghorn sumac(Rhustyphina , Zones 3–8 ) , ivory silk lilac(Syringareticulata , Zones 3–7 ) , andGinkgobiloba(Zones 3–8 ) .
