July 2009 Winner

Angela Raimato of Oxford, PA is our July 2009 Winner!

Attached please find pictures of my garden in Oxford Pennsylvania. I know I sent quite a few more than requested but it was hard enough for me to narrow it down to these (so I will let you choose which ones you like)!

Gardening in zone 6 is a wonderful thing. I can grow shade loving plants, some tropical plants, a wide variety of perennials, types of succulents... and I DO! The more the merrier!

Although I like to mix categories of plants I usually try to keep to some sort of color scheme in each individual bed. My overall theme is "a secret garden tucked away in town backyard". Our dog Elsa loves it too; my husband and I have dubbed our yard, "Elsa's Eden".

I hope you enjoy seeing my pictures half as much as I enjoy gardening and taking them!
