correspond out that view ! Who knew Tennessee was so ridiculously beautiful ? It see like a scene out of a classic landscape painting picture .

grape ! destine , I take it , to become wine . Wine grapes are being grown in more and more unlike places in the United States . They ’re not just for California anymore .

When the surrounding landscape is this beautiful , make it part of the garden ! This red surface on a fence is just an accent to the dramatic cloud and beautiful scenery beyond .

A beautiful container , with perennials such as the hosta in the back , creeping jenny ( Lysimachia nummularia‘Aurea’Zones 3–9 ) trailing over the edges , and a shiny one-year impatiens ( Impatienshybrid ) to add flower power . Perennials can stay in container from year to year , or be embed out elsewhere in the garden in the gloam .

Hard at work , with plants manoeuvre off to their new homes .

A rustic , informal garden space , with bright flush from a daylily ( Hemerocallishybrid ) and coneflower ( Echinaceahybrid ) .

A gardenia ( Gardeniasp . , Zones 8–11 ) in full bloom , surely making the intact space smell like heaven .

Elephant ears ( Colocasia gigantea , Zones 8–10 or as an annual ) are usually grow for their absurdly vast leaves , which bring a tropical look to the garden . If they ’re happy , they ’ll also bring about these outstandingly shaped white flowers for tot interest .
