Today ’s photos hail from Beth Tucker , who presently live in Waxhaw , North Carolina , but sent in these photos from her previous home in Franklin Lakes , New Jersey , where she garden on a one - acre lot . She say she is still struggle to come to term with horticulture in red clay and summer oestrus in her new garden . From the image , it is unmortgaged she learned very well how to make snowy winters in New Jersey work for her , so I ’m sure she ’ll adapt to make something beautiful in her new climate as well . The arcanum to gardening well anywhere is to lean into what make that position unique . Beth certainly did that , with plants that show off beautifully when covered with snow , turning the wintertime from a down time of year to a prison term of beauty in the garden .

This net image is looking toward the front walk . The arbor had David Austin roses — one pale pink , one blank — planted on either side that climb over the top and cope with , creating a beautiful plenty during the blooming season .
