Bring a Little Reynolda into Your Garden
|
While not all flowers have been delivered or planted yet in Reynolda's Forecourt Garden, several of our summer flowers are taking root at their new home. Interested in what choices we made for Reynolda's garden?
Try out jasmine tobacco (nicotiana alata), mealy blue sage (salvia farinacea blue bedder - pictured above in the Upcoming Events headline), or a variety of pentas - hummingbirds and butterflies will love you for it! The jasmine and sage varieties are original to Thomas Sears's ideas implemented in 1917. Come see for yourself the Forecourt Garden's new blooms! Photograph them for yourself and tag us! #reynoldalandscape.
