The transformation of my raised beds just makes me

The transformation of my raised beds just makes me so happy! Who knew a byproduct of the cheese-making process could produce an exterior wood stain that’s both people and pet safe, not to mention environmentally friendly right down to the recycled packaging. Curious to learn more? Check out the blog and my Here She Grows YouTube channel (link in bio) to learn all about PolyWhey Exterior Wood Penetrating stain from @vermontnaturalcoatings #woodstain #raisedbeds #foodgarden #environmentallyfriendly #organicgardening #backyardgardening #foodforest #stain #

I ordered two Invincibelle Lace hydrangeas from @greatgardenplants and planted them last week in the front garden. To survive the winter, they get a protective cage I make with chicken wire and bamboo poles. Without the cages, they don’t stand a chance against the rabbits. Check out my latest YouTube video for more on this beautiful pollinator friendly hydrangea and my easy peazy and oh so cheap but effective rabbit deterrent.

It’s that time of year when the spiders come out and I have to survey my path before moving forward. I did a full-on freak out in front of a neighbor yesterday when a web plastered to my face and a spider like this one scrambled into my hair. Wish I caught it in video! #spidersofinstagram #gardenspider #ihatespiders #spiders #web #fallgarden #hereshegrows #chicagogarden

A beautiful entrance makes one wonder what lies be

A beautiful entrance makes one wonder what lies beyond the gate. Little do they know it’s a disaster at the moment!

It’s another small space that lives large because of its elements - ceiling, walls, floor.

An arbor provides the strong ceiling support for the massive thug aka Sweet Autumn clematis. You might try something less aggressive here.

The giant leaves of Queen of the Jungle colocasia are a nice juxtaposition to the delicate flowers and leaves of the clematis. I love big foliage in small spaces especially at eye level.

The lime green coleus began as just three little plants that exploded, forming a rounded plant, after pinching the ends.

The lungwort and New Guinea impatiens add interest to the walkway.
