Beautiful Gardens

Posted by Pamela Leavey on June 8, 2009

One of the things I love about the Newburyport/Amesbury area is the beautiful gardens. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to take any photos attesting to this claim, but hopefully I will get some uploaded here soon.

Driving around, reacquainting myself with the area after being gone for so long, I have notices that there’s white Wisteria trees blooming everywhere along the roadside. The rhodedendrons are spectacular and in recent days the Peonies have been bursting with color.

Yesterday, I saw a garden in Newburyport that was bursting with Bearded Iris in a wide range of colors including Black.

My mother had beautiful flower gardens when I was growing up. I love to garden and it’s been years since I have lived any where that I could. We have a nice little year that gets some decent sun and a lot of shade. We’re trying out a few veggies and flowers with hope we’ll get enough sun to enjoy both.

It’s been fairly dry the past week or so, and of course the garden won’t grow with out water. Rather than using the hose and wasting water, we’re using a watering can. Bob Villa has some tips on other ways to save water when gardening.
