Today we are visiting Kirsten Rimbold’s beautiful garden.

Hello! It’s 90°F here in Virginia, and the gardens are lush and wonderful. My three grandsons are spending July with us, and they are happy to hunt for insects, harvest vegetables, and cut flowers for the table centerpieces. After that, we cool off in the pool.

I garden on urban/suburban acres. I’m the gardener, but my husband, Chris, designs and builds the stone paths and garden structures, cheerfully spreads the mulch, and makes the leaf mold we use in the vegetable beds. This garden was featured on GPOD almost a decade ago in the spring season. (Spring at Kirsten Gardens in Virginia). Since then, we’ve added a screened porch and porch garden, where we love to hang out three seasons of the year.

Given the weather and upcoming grandchildren, there are some unsightly spots (host leaves, seed heads) that may need to be trimmed (and eventually trimmed by me!), but I added additional photos to give a better sense of the garden.

Large garden bed with large shrubs and perennialsLots of shrubs with perennials mean less maintenance and a garden that looks good all year round.
