[W] Whitlow Garden

604 Rose Avenue, Blacksburg

Traci Whitlow

Lovely stone pavers leading to a small front porch are accented by potted and in-ground annuals, while perennials like lavender, peonies, and hostas, as well as Japanese maple and other shrubs, add further interest. The large backyard, with an inviting deck, provides additional space for both perennials and vegetables. Focal features are an antique water pump situated among day lilies and tall red sedum, a birdbath, and a newly-added pergola/hammock stand. Raised garden beds contain vegetables, and a newly planted asparagus bed is nearby. At the back of the property, the owners have transplanted a huge oak leaf hydrangea, a division of the original plant remaining in the front yard. A rain barrel and compost bin sit handily near the side of the property.
