A quote from Lorraine…“Gardens are ever-changing, living art creations dependent on design, plant combinations and a dedicated gardener to tend and edit them. The book, Spectacular Plant Combinations for the Perennial Garden, was a culmination of my journey with perennials to create the botanical gardens at Plant Paradise Country Gardens.
Through the descriptions and photos I have taken, you will get a glimpse into my thought process in the perennial plant combinations I have chosen. It’s an inspirational guide to create your very own garden of spectacular beauty. As in life, so it is in the garden. It’s all about who is standing next to you.”
