A cottage garden full of flowers
Mary Ann Van Berlo has been garden on this 2.4 - Akko riverfront lot since gloam 2012 . The yard was still a construction site when she move in , so all the gardens were installed after that .
The sunny front garden has anEnglish cottage gardenfeel , and the back garden is a relaxing umbrageous oasis . There is also a large shrubborder , avegetable garden , and a treed area with some interesting specimens .
Mary Ann is the exclusive gardener , so except forhardscaping(interlock and stonewalls ) , she does all the design , care , and plant . She enjoys growing the unusual , but she also has manynative plantsand garden standards .
Mary Ann relies heavily on mulch tosuppress weedsand retain moisture , and themulchalso feeds thesoilas it decomposes . Refreshing the mulch is a major caper but is by all odds worth the effort .
The garden is in AG CDA Hardiness Zone 5B ( USDA 4B ) and is site along the St. Lawrence River , near Maitland , Ontario .
