Joan’s garden in Kansas

Today ’s picture are from Joan Jackson . She says,“Our garden is in central Kansas , near the geodetic center of the lower 48 body politic – with always - changing , often - extreme weather that “ Zone 5 ” does not to the full describe .

“ My move from a mild climate to this garden 20 year ago was a challenge . We are fix along a river bluff after agriculture was abandoned due to wearing away . When my hubby and I start garden here , the planetary house and barns had few plantings . Now I have a long list of plants that thrive here ( sometimes and someplace ) , and those which do not ( after several effort ) .

“ It ’s a rustic land garden , not much manicure , mulch with wood chips gleaned from arborists . The garden was R&R while I work , and now is a joy in my retirement . We host several events here each class , so I am pulled between my laissez - faire attitude for ourselves and a need to make it ‘ look like it ai n’t ’ .

“ Plants aboriginal to this part of Kansas grow in an ever - changing strip along a retentive driving , and throughout the garden . I am still beguiled to know how many of my favorite perennials come to gardening from these prairie . ”

Gorgeous , Joan ! I think we require more photos … .
