Glenna Partridge Garden Design I'm so sorry I have not connected with you yet! I should be done most of the annual planting in the next few weeks and I will be able to see what products you have to offer. Chat to you soon. Glenna

Glenna Partridge Garden Design I'm so sorry I missed your question! The trees on site were stewartia pseudocamellia. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The tall plants are Aeoniums, the dark coloured trailers are sedums (jelly bean plant), I'm not sure what the one in the middle is...I saw it and it was unmarked when I purchased it. It's possible another sedum, and the gray trailing plants are dichondra 'silver falls'. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The border has quite a number of plants...Starting at the point of the bed...The grass is Carex 'Frosty Curls, the blue is Lithadora (perennial) the pink flowers are nemesia and I used about 9-11 plants, the purple balls are Allium (Bulbs)and there are a clump of 12-15, right above the pink nemesia is a hardy pink geranium , the white flowers are nemesia with a similar number of plants as the pink, then the blue haze of flowers is nepeta - 1 plant is about 24" across, the lime is achimella mollie - 1 plant. There are many others behind that bloom at different stages in the summer. Lupins, iris, poppies, salvia (both perennial and annual types), roses....I hope this gives you a starting point for a english style border. ....the tree is an apple tree.

Glenna Partridge Garden Design I''m sorry I missed your question! The colour on the wall is Benjamin Moore HC-155 Newbury Port Blue (Flat finish). It's a blue not really a grey. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design This combination would thrive in part shade conditions. The main plant is a phormium, the dark burgundy is a coleus, the peach flowers are impatiens hybrida (here's a link for more information http://www.simplybeautifulgardens.com/plant_info.aspx?phid=096404094003958), and the lime trailer is ipomea. At the base of the container is baby's tears with black mondo grass growing through it and the spiky silver plant is Astelia chathamica. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design Near the shed....The first plant is a Japanese Iris (I can't remember the exact one I planted but there are so many great ones to choose from in all shades of purple and white) , the dark purple plant is Cimicifuga racemosa 'Brunette', the lime coloured plant is a Euphorbia jaquemontii (I think) , the tall shrub is a buddleia (Butterfly Bush), the smaller plants in the front row are annuals...Brachycome (Swan river daisy) and the foliage on the front row near the cimicifuga is a double flowered Hellebore. The right side of the photo has Lavender 'Munstead', Variegated iris, Euphorbia wulfenii, and the annuals on the first row are Nigella (love in a mist). I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The colour of the shed is Benjamin Moore HC-155 Newbury Port Blue (Flat finish). I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The orange is a coleus called 'Sedona', in the middle of the pot is a phormium, the lime green trailer is ipomea, the grass hanging out is Carex 'Frosty Curls', the left side has plectranthus, and the plant on the right with the tiny orange flowers is lantana. I also add in trailing calibrachoa in shades of orange and deep blue. I hope this helps!

Urban Oasis What could be more spectacular than Canna in bloom?

purwin great.. like these flowers... no dreams without plants

Glenna Partridge Garden Design @ Cat Rowe. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! It's one of my favourite gardens to plant up each season. The garden is featured in the magazine Great Backyards this month in an article called "Living Streamside".

Cat Rowe Thank you Glenna

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The orange "lanterns" are the seed pods of Physalis alkekengi. I bought cut branches from the perennial and stuck them into the soil. The leaves have been removed. They last for a very long time if out of the rain. Another common name is Chinese lantern plant. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design It's approximately 10' x 10'. I hope this helps!

mishumichelle What are the trees you have in the background?

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The trees are Ilex aquifolium. (English holly)

Victoria • Restoring our Victorian Are you married? If not— Hi. I’m Victoria… that is my dream house… therefore you must be my dream husband. (No matter that I am already married… he will understand.)

Bloom'n Gardens Landscape Madame Alfred Carriere is a fantastic blush/white climbing rose for the Atlanta area. It will even take some shade! Another old fashioned favorite is Frau Karl Druschki, which is more of a tall shrub.

purser I am not close to vancouver I live in the NY area--- anything in that area ?

Glenna Partridge Garden Design I'm sorry...I don't have any idea who carries that type of container in your area but if you google fibreglass garden containers in New York you will probably get some results.

Glenna Partridge Garden Design It's Allium 'Purple Sensation'. It is a bulb that is planted in the fall and is very easy to grow. The leaves emerge first and then the flower head shoots up. The one drawback is the foliage starts to look a bit rough once the bulb starts to flower but the globes of flowers steal the show anyway. Plant a few lower perennials around the clump to hide the not so pretty foliage. The spent flower heads also look good in dried flower arrangements. A package of 10 bulbs make a nice clump. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design Sorry for the late response....very busy planting right now! The evergreen tree is Taxus baccata 'Fastigiata Aurea'. (Common name Golden Irish Yew). The orange flowers are trailing begonias, the lime foliage plant is Ipomea and I have a few small brown grasses in the mix as well. It's Carex comans. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The boxwood in the photo above is buxus sempervirens (Common Boxwood) but the one I use all the time now is Buxus suffruticosa (True dwarf Boxwood). It is very slow growing and makes a great small hedge. Here's a link for more info.

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The panels are tempered frosted glass and I'm sure you could find a source for them from your local glass specialist. The panels were on site when I started the project. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design If you do raised beds like these you must make sure you don't bury the tree under the soil. You could kill the tree if the trunk has too much soil around it. Smaller trees and shrubs can be dug up and raised to the proper level of the new raised bed soil. Maybe get a tree arborist (tree specialist) to come over and look at your trees. It's hard for me to give advice on trees that I have not seen. Another way to get some colour under large trees is to put containers in the beds or lawn. The plants won't have to compete with the tree roots and the container will be a sculptural element in the garden even when the plants are not in bloom. I hope this helps. Feel free to send some photos...I might be able to give you more advice on what to do. I hope this helps!

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The trees in the containers are coral bark maples and the evergreen trees are yew. I hope this helps!
