Monroe County Master Gardener Association

By Linda & Gail

Back @ Four Star; for part 2 of our visit; which will focus
more on specifics.

Many discussed if this plant would be a good substitute for dusty miller or even Lamb’s ear.

Remember this one??  Anyone from the Milan group care to share-did you use this plant & how did it perform???

In the mean time, this one fascinated me – I believe it’s Supertunia Daybreak Charm. Linda

And while speaking of these Supertunia, I just have to share this photo from my yard. This one called Latte was a true winner in my yard this year. I didn’t see it in the gardens but thought it performed so well and was used in my columns . The fragrance was delightful. (below) Linda

This caught my eye & Found IT!!!  The name & specifics on the ID board.

Or maybe you would prefer this plant–.

Let’s read about it–hey this one is a perennial!!!

 a closeup–still interested???

I in turn found this board with the Playing the Blues Salvia, Linda

And her it is. A close up view and also in the background

The true blue petunia; seen here planted & also a noteworthy salmon colored flower; which combo do you prefer?

And here is the sample I got from our meeting this past winter when Josh came. I managed to keep it going during the winter inside.

Look how nice these pair together.

read it & see it; a valuable planning tool.This is what makes these gardens so unique!!

We all know we need the right plant in the right place, to enjoy success in our gardens.

Would this beauty work in your garden?  So striking!!

Here it is in a display setting

If purple isn’t your color- here is another one that was getting a lot of attention-

Found it on the list- and in a different display.

What do you think???

Here is a unique color–how could it work in your garden?

Check it out–look- it’s a filler & a spiller.

Linda couldn’t help but take some additional photos of their beautiful landscape of blooms and the stream

What a cleaver way to hang pots.

Very interested in this grass. I thought it maybe purple fountain grass. I asked because it wasn’t on the board, and sure enough it is. However, notice the green in it….I was told it was probably reverting to the original plant.

This should brighten your day!

And last, the stream. The sound of running water to relax. Beyond the flowers, I love the stream.

We have our surveys to complete, but this brings our 2022 tour
@ FOUR STAR DEMO GARDENS to an end. We hopeyou have a better understanding on the workings of these
gardens & by all means– TAKE THE TIME TO VISIT NEXTYEAR–no appt. needed; Thank You Josh.
