In 2004 when the garden was just a couple of years old, HGTV showcased it in their Favorite Fall Gardens feature.
The summer garden works intensively to produce herbs and flowers, and just when you think it can’t do another thing, the white flowers of chocolate Joe Pyeweed burst forth and the seed heads on the corn-like sorghum mature. Crows gather with the ripe pumpkins and mums. The fragrance of waning foliage signals that it’s time to also harvest bottle gourds from the vines on the arbor, while fuzzy tails of red fountain grass wave in the breeze, beckoning you to come and sit awhile to revel in the exuberant sights and sounds of the season.
