This lovely yard, bursting with color, is a great example of what can be achieved with a late summer/autumn bloom in mind. Additionally, this is a working demonstration of an unfenced, “deer-resistant” yard, while the vegetable garden is safely tucked away in the fenced back yard.

A Little Free Library sits on the sidewalk, facing into the garden. It is painted vibrant red, complimenting a nearby stunning-red crepe myrtle, a variety appropriately named “Dynamite”. Owner, Dave Lowe states that he is out in his garden for a good part of each day, looking to see what works and what he might want to change. Dave claims dahlias as his current special passion, “because they offer so many captivating varieties and types”.
