wordsnob asked:


My home (built 1917) had well-known gardens back in the ’20s and we want to restore them. Does anyone know what sort of plants or flowers would have been common then? And which will keep the gardens looking colourful & lush in at least 3 of the seasons? (I’m in the Great Lakes region)

Y U asked:


I have a terrible green thumb, and to avoid killing plants I have simply put artificial flowers in my flower boxes. They look nice at first but after about two months I have to replace them. Is there anything that I can put on them to keep them looking new?
