Design Ideas

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I keep old copies of Garden Gate around for inspiration during the long winter months in Illinois.  The articles and design ideas are timeless and I always find something new to think about for the coming spring.  Have you seen Garden Gate magazine?  You can pick up a copy at Borders Books and from their website:  www.gardengatemagazine.com For example, the February 2008 issue had an article about shasta daisies.  It points out that the daisy has many good qualities such as “forms nice clumps”; “stiff stem” and a “long bloom season”.  Upload a picture of your home on www.mygardenonline.com and see if the Shasta Daisy would look good in your garden!
