October 2008 Winner

Carol Miller of South Carolina is our October 2008 Winner!

My husband and I moved to South Carolina (from New Jersey) in April of 2005, so I’ve been a Southern gardener for three and one-half years now. There was so much to learn about gardening in Zone 8b, and I’m still learning. I joined the Mount Pleasant Garden Club the first year we moved here, and this is my second year as vice-president. I’ve gleaned a lot of information about Southern gardening from the ladies in the club, as well as from our special speakers. Hope you enjoy my garden – it’s my passion!

Oleander grows wonderfully here in coastal South Carolina.	Ginger lily in the fall.
Mexican petunias and yellow canna.	Siberian Iris in the spring.
These two daylilies were very precious to me; they were couple the deer did not eat!	Black-eyed susans, perilla, lime-green duranta.
Angel wing begonia in hanging basket.	My husband made the butterfly house in background.
I created paths throughout my garden with these stepping stones.
