Submit Your Garden for 'Garden of the Day'

Now that the weather’s finally getting to the point where we can actually sit outside, we’re feeling more in the mood to talk about gardens. So for the next few weeks (or as long as the submissions come in), we’d like to feature photo(s) of readers’ gardens (or other planted spaces!), along with a brief description of the thought-process and work that has gone into them. As a teaser, we’ve included a photo (above) of how one front yard on our block is coming along. Please email your submissions to brownstoner@brownstoner.com.
4:50,
So someone who has taken the time to learn and practice the design and structuring of a garden that looks good year-round is pretentious? IMHO such a person demonstrates a damned sight more value to this world than some “guest” who comes up with a comment like yours.
Hmm, nobody has ever said that to me but you, 4:50. So maybe it’s about you not me? I think so.
I was merely pointing out to that really negative dude it is NOT “too early” in the season when we’ve had plenty things blooming for an entire month already. Just ask the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens whose cherry trees have been blooming a couple weeks already and have had plenty visitors.
4:18 sounds like the most pretentios person to walk the earth.
I love the house above! I’m so jealous!I pass it quite a lot and people that live seem pretty friendly.
the season has started, this is not early at all. Great idea mr b.
“Love this idea, but it’s pretty early in the season.”
I disagree. Early in the season starting in April you see tulips then late Spring there are other bulbs blooming, and azaleas. Spring is gorgeous, in a well-planned, well-planted garden. Then in Summer to early Fall there are the hydrangea and roses blooming.
I love a Winter garden too, because that’s the real test for garden planning, to see if the garden transforms in a nice way and maintains interest in cold months.
Unfortunately not all of us are fortunate to own our own brownstone (or lovely wood-frame Victorian) in which to plant a garden.
My garden consists of 7 pots and two hanging boxes – would you consider a balcony garden for your feature?
this is a terrific idea.
i’ll be submitting mine when it fills in just a little more!
I like that the garden does not intrude on the curb cut or parking space.
