Description

Think of a flower that says “Wow” and it is probably growing in this Davidson County garden. From showy daylilies to coneflowers and the impressive Turk’s lily this garden is packed with plants that flower throughout the year.

Starting with the poor soil native to this area, this homeowner added a lot of compost to enrich the dirt. The results are obvious in the profusion of happy, healthy plants now growing in the yard.
