I just spent some time with family for a few days and took shameless advantage of photographing my sister's flower gardens. She has such a green thumb. Everything looks so beautiful I had to snap a few photos to share with you!
WELCOME TO MY SISTER'S HOME--
My sister and brother-in-law have completely restored their home back to its original state both inside and outside. I love the cobblestone that wraps the entire lower level of the home with the contrast of the siding and shutters.
Along her walkway you will find many different perennials that provide bursts of color throughout the Summer and Fall.
Smaller vignettes are scattered around her yard.
I thought this window box (below) was quite unique. She added a Pepper plant and a Basil plant just outside her door for easy clipping!
There is a beautiful cobblestone fence that surrounds her side yard. (below) It was built with the original house and has a small trenched potting area on top. This year my sister planted Lantana for the first time in this area and it's really thriving! She has tried petunias and other plant varieties, but nothing has produced constant color like the Lantana.
Take a look at how beautiful it is......
I hope you all enjoyed the garden tour at my sister's home today. Last year I featured my Mother's beautiful gardens, and this year my sister's. Can you see the green thumb pattern I was born in to? How about you? Do you like to garden? Share your story with us.
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

Oh my, that cobblestone wall with the Lantana is breathtaking! I love cobblestone so of course I loved her home! We had cobblestone on our previous home. She definitely does have a green thumb and I so enjoyed the tour!

Hi Jann,
DeleteThanks so much! That combination of Lantana and cobblestone was sure her winner this year! I will pass along your compliments. Thanks for stopping by.

What a gorgeous home and it looks like it's in a neighborhood of beautiful homes! You took wonderful photos of the colorful flowers! Lantana grows really well in Florida and we have quite a bit in our flower beds. (we don't garden much any more though) But I love flowers! Enjoy your week! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Lavender Dreamer!
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by and your sweet comments! We have a home in Florida also and I have the yellow Lantana down there. It grows so fast I have to trim it! So glad you enjoyed my sister's gardens.
Have a great weekend!
Kathleen
Your sister’s home is very beautiful! It certainly helped that her garden is maintained very well. The bright colors of the ornamental plants and the other greens added to the overall appearance. Anyway, I wish you could also give your readers a tour inside. I bet it’s also quite beautiful in there. Thanks for sharing!
