Season-long interest from unusual plants
Hello ! I am Rob Chambon . I have been garden since the fall after my dad overtake in 2001 . Myfirst place to garden was at Pine Bluffs , a hard wooded area on a lake . This is where I learned what work and did not work in shady areas . Over a period of 12 years , I build and installed a woodland garden I call the Secret Garden . It had nine seating area area , a full hammock area , a swing , 65 tons of rocked hiking trail , and thousand of aboriginal and nonnative rarified and strange perennials , shrubs , trees , and medulla . Those were my “ proving background , ” so to speak , for my current menage , where I remain to work on landscaping to this sidereal day .
In October 2017 , I incite to my current residence in Bicknell , Indiana , four air mile from Pine Bluffs . It was a totally white ticket , with only two daylilies and one clematis there when I moved in . There were no existing border or planting beds of any sort . vacuous slates are my favorite , so I quickly set to work constitute a fistful of perennial and shrub that fall before winter set in . Since that initial start , I have greatly expanded my landscape painting to cover the three urban center muckle that I own . I have just about everything from Dominicus to shade , a unique and divers mixing of perennials , shrubs , trees , and bulb that countenance something of sake in all 12 months of the class .
I really enjoy putting my originative juices to work in come up with combining that work well in the garden and complement each works in that peculiar grouping to the fullest . All gardeners sexual love blooms , of path , but I believe that it is a plant ’s foliation that carries the garden through the majority of the year . With that focus in intellect , I endeavor to come up with different combinations of industrial plant colors , forms , and textures that create stake and smasher that is both heart - catching and unique .
