Time for a garden makeover?
It is fall and, if you are like me, you are unhappy with your garden.
You have been working at it all summer and if you are not simply bored by it, you are frustrated that it didn't turn out as you has hoped.
And you forgot to plan for fall color. Again.
I am in the midst of a garden makeover - not the whole garden, just a corner - and my mind is a jumble of ideas and plants.
To the rescue? The Garden Designers Roundtable.
Each month, these generous folks take an aspect of garden design - one usually suggested by their readers - and they share their knowledge and their creativity with the rest of us. (Last month's topic was about inviting wildlife into your garden.)
This month's topic was about garden renovation and restoration. What gardeners call "editing" the garden. You will be able to read all their comments at The Garden Designers Roundtable. Just click on the links to the blogs of the contributors.
Check out their advice. It may help you focus on what you can reasonably accomplish in your garden this fall.

I would love to have help with the garden. There are so many wonderful things growing. I wish I could find someone who is gentle and loving and respects the beauty of the garden.

Susan, Thanks so much for the mention! I always love writing the GDRT posts because the topics really make me think about things in a new way, and getting to see everyone else's take after writing my own post is fantastic. Everyone seems to have such a different approach.
You guys are so cool to share! -- Susan

Hi Susan.
This is a great mention. I just came from Genevieve's blog. Just making my rounds checking out what my favorite writers have to say.
Genevieve's post on garden make over and restoration is very good as well.
