Katie’s Garden Redesign

Reworking a much-loved garden

Today we ’re visiting with Katie Kagler in Hudson , Ohio .

My garden was first featured on the GPOD in 2013(Katie ’s Garden in Ohio).In 2019 , we put an increase on our firm that resulted in have to transfer a with child component of our mainperennialgarden into thevegetable gardenfor an full time of year while the house was under construction .

As you’re able to see in this photo from the older garden , our fourclematisvines were previouslytrelliseddirectly onto the service department wall , so we needed a unexampled solution for those .

We decided to add fourtuteursto support the clematis . However , the first time of year I was very unhappy with the overall outcome of the new garden . I end up having a deep space , which made planting trickier , and the clematis were barely filling the young social system . I asked my neighbor , who is a mythological gardener , to come over and help me redesign the garden yet again . She suggested putting in a row ofboxwoodsto not only frame thepatiobut to take up some of that additional space .

She also intimate acquiring a few more clematis varieties that would farm over the tuteurs more sharply . This newClematis‘Jackmanii ’ ( geographical zone 4–8 ) traverse one tuteur nicely in the first year . I made a unadulterated plan of the garden on paper and then executed the new design .

We also polish off our sometime - fashionedpondwith a pump and charge plate liner and replaced it with a unexampled waterfall .

There is always something in blooming in the garden from May to September . Between each of the tuteurs are dauntless dinner party - home base pink hibiscus(Hibiscushybrids , Zones 5–9 ) , which do not come into their full sizing and bloom until August , when many of the other perennial are finished .

The newfangled boxwoods entrap the front of the new layer attractively .

Ahanging basketof pinkish petunias(Petuniahybrid , Zones 9–11 or as an one-year ) adds vividness to the blooming perennials .

The new garden design is a success !
