Annual plantings
Annual plantings offer continuity and variety in color and texture during the season to the ever changing face of the garden. There is often a flurry of activity around these plantings. Many annual flowers are rich in nectar and pollen offering food sources to bees, butterflies, moths and hummingbirds. Beautiful for people and an added benefit in the ecological network.
“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth”
— Henry David Thoreau
