Revisiting John’s garden in New Jersey

In the spirit of revisiting some of our favorite gardens this calendar week , today we ’re revisiting John Markowski in his garden in New Jersey . We first visited John in April ( refresh your memoryHERE . )

Today we get to see his garden in gloaming , with the grass going gangbusters . John says,“I garden in zona 6B in central New Jersey and have two big issues I take to grapple with . My clay territory drainage very ill ( plainly we have a gamy H2O table in my town ) and the plants have to mete out with tight feet a good part of the year .

“ I also have swarms of deer who visit ofttimes and destroy everything in their path ( RIP peonies ) . As a outcome , I rely more and more on cosmetic forage and native perennial and shrubs . These admit Joe Pye weed , sneezeweed , genus Amsonia ( bluestar ) , itea ( sweetspire ) , clethra ( summersweet ) and boltonia . ”

Well this strategy is certainly working , John . Pristine and lovely ! Thanks for sharing again.***John has a web log ! Check it outHERE .
