It’s official. I submitted my street-side tree garden into the City of Boston Garden Contest tonight. There’s still time for other Boston residents to enter. The deadline is Wed. July 18th at 5pm.
This summer has been a tough one for my garden. Today’s submission reflects my fourth planting since April. That’s well over my usual quota of planting through early July.
My current garden has lush, 
red, mandevillas, purple dahlias, bright purple and yellow petunias, pink impatiens and lots of English ivy.
My fingers are crossed that my garden earns a Finalist position. I’d love the judge to see the colors, textures and beauty that exists on a sidewalk in the middle of the city. Good luck to all the entrants!
