FALL= don't quite yet on those gardens!

A lot of times we struggle to find plants that are still adding amazing benefits to our gardens. But as a landscape designer, I know that not only am I looking for an interest in the flower, but I look at the fruit, the bark, the seeds, etc. and begin to realize that plants if placed in the right spots truly could give us that unbelievable Fall punch of color and beauty. In the five minutes walking out around my office here at W.D. Wells & Associates, I have found five plantings that are still unwilling to throw in the towel, in fact some of these plantings are just coming into true form. Take a look!
WINTERBERRY HOLLY
PAPERBARK MAPLE
ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA
