Garden for Grandkids
I visited another “ML” out in Appling, Ga in March. Acres of beauty surrounded
her timeless home. We walked to the back yard and I was dazzled by her organized
garden space. Ten almost empty plots begging for zinnias, cosmos, celosia, sunflowers
and herbs!
and herbs!

| 10 tidy beds waiting |
Here are my recommendations to ML for her “Grand Garden”…
Those beds in the back are a dream! I would use that as a teaching area for your Grandkids! You can go all out by putting dwarf English Boxwoods at corners of each bed for a more formal look or just plant what you like!
ü My head was filled with Zinnias, both tall “cut & come again” varieties and the Profusion series which are very low maintenance but will give you color…they come in orange, white and a pink.
ü Sunflowers…several varieties
ü Celosia
ü Cosmos
ü Echinacea..or Coneflower which has many colors and sizes other than tall purple!
ü Bronze okra, some corn, bush beans…all easy from seed.
ü Lambs ear is another herb to consider particularly with children since they are so soft and fuzzy.
ü Maybe even some tall tuteurs as below for growing vines…
