GARDEN 337: A Cottage Garden in an Urban Setting

A colorful corner
Day lilies and coneflowers like this sunny corner.

I haven’t always been a gardener, but I have always loved gardens. It has taken 16 years to get my gardens into the shape they are today. And, I’ve had help. But I’m the kind of person who plods along, tailoring my goals as I go. Last November I had a long overdue knee replacement and I’m hoping this spring, summer, and fall will find me physically able to maintain and find even more joy working in all of my garden beds.



About Me

I haven’t always been a gardener, but I have always loved gardens. It has taken 16 years to get my gardens into the shape they are today. And, I’ve had help. I’m 74 years old, have rheumatoid arthritis, and had a late stage cancer six years ago. I am, though, intrepid. I’m the kind of person who plods along, tailoring my goals as I go. Last November I had a long overdue knee replacement surgery and I’m hoping this spring, summer, and fall will be able to maintain and find even more joy working in all of my garden beds. Full disclosure, though. I have a garden guy who comes once a week to work in my gardens.
