I can’t say enough about how beautiful the grounds are looking in all the gardens we have landscaped surrounding the perimeter of the new amphitheater.  We still have work to do; such as, removing some hosta from the water wheel garden and replacing with other plants to give more variety;  then, there is the Washington Walk that runs along the length of the amphitheater to the water wheel garden and into the woods where Roy and our garden club have cleared vines and ...

A really good crowd of Gardeners–human and canine–arrived for the August cleanup of The Grange from near and far.

The planting and transplanting continue at The Grange. When we arrived in June, many thought the two dwarf crepe myrtles in the entrance garden at the bottom of Mansion Walk had met their demise after our grueling winter; but, we should have known that these 4-yr-olds had a lot of fight left in them. We dug around the shrub roots and there at the base was green. I hope when we go back in July, we will see some new ...
