Annuals and Perennials Combine in This Delightful Garden

mature garden
This flourishing garden is located on a half acre site that includes structures and plantings original to the property, built in 1950. Enjoy an old greenhouse and mature vines, poppies, and rose bushes that create a lush sensation throughout. The owners have planted over 30 varieties of hydrangea including mop head, lace cap, oak leaf, climbing and paniculata in groupings and as accents throughout the property. You will also see specimen stewartia, native bamboo, iris and hosta. An asparagus bed, a tomato garden, and an herb garden provide a bountiful harvest for the table. Flowers are well represented by a zinnia garden, a hidden garden, a hosta garden and several border gardens. 

Directions to 18 Hart Road, Truro.
