Growing lavender in coastal New England isn't easy. After years of experimenting with different varieties, here's what I've learned about choosing the right ones and creating a fragrant, pollinator-friendly garden.

Salvia is an all-star perennial I rely on most for structure, movement, and repeat color heading into early summer.

The best garden plants aren't always the loudest ones.

If I could only recommend a handful of perennials, catmint would make the list every time.

Long before the rest of the garden awakens, the hellebores are already blooming.
