Monarch Butterflies on Meadow Blazingstar Liatris

Monarch Butterflies, YES, they were here! I just have to share this update to my Garden Tour post yesterday. Remember this: On our way to the front yard, I want to show you this Meadow Blazingstar Liatris. I’ve never grown this variety of liatris and I think it’s lovely. So do the butterflies, but apparently […]

Garden Tour - Solanna Golden Sphere Coreopsis, Arizona Sun Gaillardia, Butterfly Bush

I’m just not ready for summer to end. Here in Minnesota the temps are in the 70s and we’ve had ample rain, so the grass, veggies and flowers are very lush and green. Since everything is looking so good, I decided to do another “Stroll Through Gingham Gardens,” or more commonly known as a garden […]

Easy Garden Makeover

Last Updated on October 31, 2018 by Joanna 13 Comments

I’ve already shared a few garden makeovers here at Gingham Gardens that you can read about  here and here. Today, I’m going to share An Easy Garden Makeover. Here’s what this area looked like when we moved in last August. Later in the fall, we had the multiple-trunk ash tree cut down, so we were […]

Miniature Gnome Shade Garden

This week I’d like to show you my Miniature Gnome Garden. I initially planned this miniature gnome garden with my little grand buddy in mind. I did the planting and then little grand buddy helped me sit up the gnomes, their houses and their accessories, including a dog and a frog. He pretty much rearranges […]

A Garden Visit – Munsinger Gardens

Last Updated on August 15, 2017 by Joanna 12 Comments

My intent on Gingham Gardens is to share mostly my own gardens, but I love to visit others gardens and will share those on occasion. A few weeks ago I went on a little field trip (as we like to call it) with some girlfriends to Munsinger Gardens in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Unfortunately, I did […]

Another Garden Makeover at Gingham Gardens

Last Updated on March 25, 2020 by Joanna 19 Comments

I think it’s time I shared another garden makeover at Gingham Gardens. When we moved into our current home at the end of summer 2016, the list of garden projects was endless, and it still is, but lots of the projects have been checked off. So far, we’ve managed about 4 o4 5 garden makeover […]

Garden Tour - A Stroll Through Gingham Gardens

Come along and take a stroll through Gingham Gardens.  Grab a cup of joe or a glass of iced tea and get comfy for this virtual garden tour. I usually start to slow down a bit in the gardens towards the end of July and August, at least with planting and rearranging, and I move […]

Saying Good-Bye To My First Minnesota Gardens

Last Updated on December 30, 2019 by Joanna 9 Comments

Barnwood bench in garden with watering can vignette.

Please join me as I reminisce and say good-bye to my first Minnesota Gardens.  In August of 2016, we sold our home of 19 years.  During those years I transformed the quarter acre yard into beautiful flower gardens combining both perennials and annuals, as well as an area with raised veggie beds. Over the years […]
