It's June 1 and our judges have been touring the village of Eganville to select the June Garden of the Month. Congratulations to the winner - here is what they found:
Towering maple and basswood trees shelter Angela Kuehl's woodland garden at 130 Hartwig St where, set among rocky coves, you will find a diversity of plants. Trilliums and Spring bulbs are just about finished blooming but the perennials are about to come into their own. Shade loving hostas share the sunnier spots with creeping phlox, lambs ears, cranes bill, milkweed, peonies and iris. Juniper shrubs, a Siberian pea shrub and a spirea add volume to the garden which slopes upwards to the house. The garden is a work in progress as Angela only purchased the property a little over a year ago and has been working hard to create this woodland oasis. It's a lovely Spring time garden to check out.
