Susan’s Spring Garden at 5,500 Feet

1 week ago | finegardening.com | Kaitlyn Hayes

Happy Friday, GPODers!It seems that a lot of you are having a banner spring this year. From flushes of fabulous flowers to big and bright new foliage growth, and even some early-season edibles, we’ve seen just about everything a spring garden has to offer. We continue that theme with first-time contributor Susan Buckley in Idaho. Susan’s garden is at an elevation of 5,500 feet, so she deals with a pretty harsh winter, but that can make spring even more exciting and awe-worthy.

Hi GPODers!At the end of last year we were introduced to Karen Safford’s stunning garden in Bend, Oregon (Check that post out here: Karen’s Oregon Garden Through the Seasons). Karen’s gardens are relatively new, having moved to her property less than 5 years ago, but she has already thoughtfully and beautifully mixed many ornamentals and natives to accommodate the dry conditions and tough terrain of the high desert.

Hi GPODers!A couple weeks ago we went on a wonderful trip to the Netherlands thanks to Kielian DeWitt (Check out those posts here: GPOD on the Road: Kielian in the Netherlands and Keukenhof Garden Park). Kielian showed us the garden culture of the Netherlands from a tourists perspective, but today we get to see how the locals garden! Ramon Smit lives in Gouda, the Netherlands, but he takes inspiration from Japanese garden design.

Happy Monday GPODers!About a month ago, we were treated to photos from Adriana Porter Felt’s garden in Berkeley, California for the first time (Check out that post here: Adriana’s Pride of Madeira in Spring). At that point in the season, she was singing the praises of her incredible pride of Madeira blooms (Echium candicans, Zones 9–11).

Happy Friday GPODers!We’re wrapping up our week of diverse garden spaces with Lisa Adam in Texas. Lisa lives very close to the southernmost point of Texas, and shared photos of her garden in Weslaco last fall (Check out that post here: Lisa’s Wildlife Haven Near the Southernmost Point of Texas), but today she’s sharing a recent visit to a really cool ecotourism center that highlights and educates on the the ecosystems native to this unique region. My name is Lisa Adam and I live in Weslaco, Texas.

Hi GPODers!I’m so pleased with the diversity in gardens we are able to showcase on the blog this week! After starting the week with spring blooms in Pennsylvania (Spring Blooms in Rhonda’s Pennsylvania Garden) and traveling down to Arizona to check out a spring kitchen garden (Dawn’s Spring Garden in Arizona), we enjoyed autumn in Buenos Aires yesterday (Ezequiel’s Autumn in Buenos Aires). Today we’re back in the northeast to see fabulous cottage garden flowers with a city skyline backdrop.

Hi GPODers!We’ve been reveling in spring here on Garden Photo of the Day, but today we’re heading south of the equator to see what fall is looking like in the Southern Hemisphere. We’ve had several GPODers contribute from the opposite end of the world, but today’s submission was a little extra exciting.

Hi GPODers!We’ve been seeing a lot of delicate spring blooms on the blog so far this season, but today we’re heading to Surprise, Arizona to see a very different kind of spring garden. Dawn Fountain first started sharing her southwestern garden with the blog earlier this year (see her previous submissions here: Dawn’s Backyard Garden in Arizona and Indoor Growing in Arizona). Despite her desert climate, Dawn has a productive kitchen garden and pairs her edible beds with vibrant flowers.

Happy Monday GPODers!We’re starting the week off in in West Grove, Pennsylvania with Rhonda Molin. Rhonda has shared her gorgeous garden in almost every season (Check out previous submissions here: Rhonda’s Pennsylvania Garden, Fall in Rhonda’s Garden, A Safe Garden Wedding, Rhonda’s Hellebore Roundup, and A Guest in Rhonda’s Garden), and there is always a bounty of blooms and a flush of colorful foliage to enjoy.

Happy Friday GPODers!We’re back in Albany, Georgia today to see more of the spring color that has emerged from Julie Prince’s garden so far this year. If you missed yesterday’s post, check it out here: Part 1. Otherwise, enjoy the rest of Julie’s spectacular spring plants. My garden has slowly unfolded. We enjoyed (???) a rare snow event in Southwest Georgia on January 22. In our yard we measured 6.5 inches accumulation, and it hung around for several days.
