Every Gardener Knows...

Deb Edwards, Owner of Perennial Gardens to Go... that a successful perennial garden begins when the shovel slices through the soil to create a hole big enough for the first plant. Others will say it begins with a plan, a design, an idea. That's also correct. But the garden doesn't begin to take root until the shovel moves the soil aside and the plant goes into the ground.

That is how Perennial Gardens to Go began. With the first perennial in the ground. The plants were chosen, design plans were drawn, and space was created for the first twelve formal landscape gardens. And then we began planting the perennials. You should stop by to see how the gardens and rows of perennials, peonies, irises and day lilies have grown!
