Valerie’s Greenhouse and Cutting Garden in Canada

A natural disaster takes trees, but leaves room for a fabulous flower garden

Hey GPODers ! If you ’re savvy on societal media and your IG provender is full of gardens that make you say , “ How do they perhaps do it ? ? ” You might recognize today ’s submitter , Valerie or@cottageandblossom . Today we ’re take care at her enviable glasshouse and gorgeous cutting garden :

We built our greenhouse / garden house 2 years ago . Just after closing of this undertaking , we had a hurricane in the crepuscule that toppled 7 mature maple trees in our garden . We then put in two rent rail fences and built a cutting garden in the now all sunny side and back yard .

Last year was the first twelvemonth for the cutting garden and I develop everything from seed and used Dahlia pinnata tubers as well . I was blown forth by what I create but through cum . The garden is predominantly zinnias , dahlias , cosmos , sunflowers , scarlet offset bean on the trellis , nasturtium around the base of the flowers and hydrangea shrubs along the fence .

I also have skunk , allium and several climbers on the greenhouse such as grapevine , climbing hydrangea and common ivy .

Thanks so much !

That fabulous moment when , your plants equalise the sky ! The sundown is putting on a striking show in this photograph , but Valeries garden is give it a run for its money .

Another sundown a little before on in the season , and the garden was still sporting fab colors and grain ( I ’m a sucker for some foliage , so a few less flowers never bothers me ) .

A stuffy look at Valerie ’s farm bed cutting garden shows off its abundance and aid to item . lay up some raised bottom really is as simple as load up your truck with lumber or buying a high-pitched - timbre kit . However , when some existent thought is put into the placement and organization of your elevate beds you’re able to make a space that is fat , looks great , and is enjoyable to make in .

Because who would n’t require to spend all day harvest and pulling weed in this blank ?

Before that harsh Canadian wintertime rolls in , Valerie ’s picturesque greenhouse is the perfect spot to admire some mums and the last of the season ’s flowers .

Even as the time of year wears on and the colors start to fade , there is plenitude of beauty to be seen from Valerie ’s porch .

A slue garden staple fibre , Valerie had a mythologic year with her zinnia . This appear to be a mix of ‘ Zinderella Peach ’ ( Zinnia‘Zinderella Peach ’ , annual ) with uncouth zinnia ( Zinniaelegans , annual ) .

Purple and green are one of those color jazz band that almost never go wrong . Alliums pair perfectly with a variegated Funka and get a surplus daddy of color from light pinkish aquilege .

A greenhouse even more beautiful on the interior than it is on the outside I know I just said I would pass all day toiling in Valerie ’s gardens , but she might have to pull me out of her glasshouse first !
