A collector’s garden of beauty

We ’re in Wendy Lagozzino ’s beautiful garden today .

I have an English - style cottage garden surrounding a house built in 1900 . Back in the eighties , I shift the landscape painting during a remodel to a two - tiered backyard and a cap garden over a service department in the front . The side yard has a plastic storage-battery grid planted with earth cover to supersede a schmalzy lawn . There is a shed in the backyard plant with a green roof . I am a accumulator and likely have means more perennial than I have any business fitting in ! My basement ceiling is made up of everlasting flower I have grown over the year . Obviously , I have lived here for many eld , and my garden is my passion .

The fine , fluffy flowers ofmeadow rue(Thalictrumaquilegifolium , Zones 5–8 )
