I planted my own garden several years ago....
Using my tiller (a birthday present) and rocks from the ground around our property I created this flower bed.
Coming from the West...I couldn't believe all the foliage that grew wild here in Connecticut.
Daylillies were growing near the road in our own front yard. I dug them up and replanted them in my flower beds.
This is a photo from just before the lillies are ready to bloom.
I ordered several perennials from an on-line nursery to plant along with my Day Lillies. I also planted Shasta Daisies and Echinacea from seed indoors until they were big enough to be planted outside.
.

Here are some of my favorite perennials:
Shasta Daisies
Shasta Daisies
Stella Dior Daylillies
Echinachea
Astible Bridal Veil
Lupine
Cluster a set of 5 close together for a lovely crowded garden.
In a couple of weeks my garden will be bursting with blooms.
Adding a stone pathway creates an inviting walk through the garden and brings in
a little "cottage style" charm.
Create large curved gardens lined with stones for a welcoming entrance to your front door.

Beautiful inspiration! Loving all of your flowers,,,,
What a lovely garden! Living in SC I miss having the rich soil we had in the Northeast. You've done a wonderful job creating so many flower beds.
I am soooo jealous. We left CT 20 years ago for CA and I still miss it. A visit to White Flower Farm, Mystic Seaport, summer rain showers, ahhhh...
Beautiful gardens!
Very beautiful! Such a wonderful time of year!
Your flower garden looks great!! I love perennials and have a few, but love how you clustered them together like that. I also like your walkway made out of stones instead of poured concrete. It looks like you have a lot of property to manage.
Your garden and house are both so beautiful! You must enjoy it all so much. ~ Jamie
Your garden is looking beautiful! I love the lupine, it's so pretty.
I love a crowded garden. Yours is looking beautiful. Mine is also about to be bursting with flowers and I can't wait! It's off to a great start. I hope you share more photos of when yours is bursting!

Beautiful garden! We share some of the same favorites. I love daisies, cone flowers, black eyed Susans both because they are beautiful in the garden and because I love making little boquets to have inside. Thanks for sharing.
your flower garden is beautiful.. I dont have a green thumb, one thing I didnt get from my mamaw. I cant even remember the difference between annuals and perennials.LOL
Wow! You go with your green thumb! I have basil growing in a container. That's the extent of it!! Your garden is beautiful! ~Lori
Your garden is so similar to the garden I had done at our last house and I just loved it! This current house has a much more traditional/formalized look but I am softening it up little by little!
BTW, I just found your blog and love your style (one which I wish I could emmulate!)
What online nurseries do you recommend? Your flowers are beautiful!

So so pretty. I just love the flowers and gardens. I am from Cali and the foliage was not the same as it is here in Minnesota. Just love it. Your yard is lovely ... thank you for sharing!
Hugs,

little late I am... just got around your beautiful blog. Did you know you can eat your day-lillies. They taste a litle like lettuce with a pepperish aftertaste. Look good on a salad as eadible deco too.
try please try in summer, they are good. I have eaten them for more than 30 years
greetings from Germany
