North Carolina Gardens

Just starting out. This is our garden in summer 1971.

An early morning shot a few years later in June 1974.

And another picture from the same era, June 1976.

In 1994 we rebuilt the main terraces. This is the new look in May 1995.

And in late June 1996. The grass is lowly bermuda.

This view from late June 1996 shows the new shade structure and a twenty-plus year old Hibiscus syriacus Blue Bird.

This view of our garden was taken with an Olympus D600L in late June, 1998. The size is 832x624 compressed to about 200 KB.

Shade garden at Fearrington House southwest of Chapel Hill, NC.

The first year of the new border in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, on the Duke campus, Durham, NC, 1996.

This is the perennial border at NCSU Arboretum in Raleigh, NC in May.

Mrs. Powell's Iris early May. Her nursery is near Princeton, NC.
