Native plants for a Cape Cod garden

We’re part of our very first garden tour organized by the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History! I did a short presentation on our woodland garden a few weeks ago and now we are one of 6 gardens on the trip. Call 508 896 3867 ext. 733. The date is tomorrow, June 27. The starting point is the museum, go to 869 Main Street (Route 6A) in Brewster, and kick off the event at the Lynn Peabody Wildflower Garden. 9:30 AM is the start time there, but you can take the tour anytime before 3:00 PM. Visit Scargo Lake, Cummaquid, Brewster and Harwich, and spend some time with artists, naturalists, horticultarists and yours truly. As you should know by now we have a shade garden with some 100 species of native perennials, as well as some pretty cool non-natives and commercial plantings. This being the transition period from spring to summer, and that particular event being delayed somewhat this year, you will see a lot of plants right after or right before their peak. But if you are an enthusiast you will still enjoy what you see. I do every day.
