The Joe Pye weed is growing tall- over my head at the park. It seems to hang-out by the stream. The garden Phlox has been blooming beautifully. This year I even got to plant some of my own. The rose of sharon bush, age 2 is putting on quite a show even though it has been battered by hail. I have so enjoyed the flowers around me I hate to trim them but fall is on its way.
In the Community Garden now has fed the people and had the community working together. Bella and I still go there almost everyday. The compost bins are full, getting soil ready for next year. This last plant, we called Dutchman’s Britches with a friend.

I find the green around me very calming and grounding. Sad to see the flowers go but they will be back. Are you sad to leave the plants you have nurtured?

not really. I know they will continue on and bless the new owners. And I’ve learned a lot and have all kinds of ideas to put to use wherever we eventually land.

Love the flowers and blooming thing. Community gardens are so fun–and photogenic. Great to see the compost bins there.

This park is a wonderful place. I wrote about it months back 4 in 1- a winning solution. It has three different walking trail (even a paved one), ball fields, the stream, a disc golf course and the community garden. Inspired planning.

Today as I was walking with Bella, the fragrance of honeysuckle was so soft and sweet floating on the breeze. It was a beautiful moment. Hugs to you

The colour of your rose of sharon is really pretty. It’s always a hard decision to cut things back – leave it too late and it won’t get done, do it too early and we’ll no doubt have a long mild autumn! 😉 Lovely photos Mountainmae!

Lovely photos!!! I love gardening too so was excited to see your post – my flox and my rose of sharon were particularly beautiful this year (nothing I did, so I will take no credit!). Your photos are great – I always have trouble taking really great photos of individual flowers for some reason….
