Veronica’s Garden in New Hampshire

When I put the call out for picture a pair of weeks ago in telephone exchange for a chance to win a free gardening book , Veronica Guyre in Lyme , New Hampshire ( USDA Hardiness Zone 4b ) , decided to throw her hat in the ring . We ’ve hear from Veronica before . We featured a couple of plant combos from her garden back in 2010 ( freshen your memoryHEREandHERE ) . But who roll in the hay that when you back off from these close - in shot , you ’d find this sensational garden ? WOWSERS ! !

Veronica says,“My hubby and I have been reclaiming this late crushed rock endocarp property for the past nine age . Much input was necessary from county and state of matter agrarian advisor and a complete appraisal of the 54 land was made by the county section .

“ Working this ill-treated property , on top of gravel and sand , is a incessant challenge for both my husband and me . I have enclosed a ‘ before ’ photograph of the sand and gravel pit after its last leveling . Several true pine and birch tree were rescued before build and hardscaping and are now close to 20 feet tall . Over the years we ’ve planted trees , shrub , a repeated border along the drive , and an enclosed vegetable garden that has a Harlan Fisk Stone path and a bower by the house . ”Well . I ’m dumb . How about you guys ?
