Owl Creek Farm in America’s Garden Capital

Posted on November 27, 2023 by Dallas Garden Buzz

Plow back with me in time to The Garden Blogger’s Fling in September, a few months ago. Owl Creek Farm in West Chester, Pennsylvania was a favorite. There were no ancient walls, limestone paths or turrets as backdrops but the design elements leaned towards English garden theory. Stepping into this garden, fed my plant lusting eyes but also my heart. I hope you will enjoy a look at Owl Creek Farm.

Lush plantings such as these pink borders in the two photos above with several kinds of Coleus, Impatiens, Angelonia, and Lantana. Texans could borrow this scheme.

Color Themed Gardens, yellow reigns here!

Plant Diversity-yuccas, orange zinnia and dahlia with a banana as an exclamation.

Perfectly Planned Borders, love the textural contrast-coneflower, anemones, a grass I can’t name, allium seed heads in the front, weeping redbud, Cercis canadensis anchoring the back.

Trellis– such as these three, an essential English garden element

Exuberant Pots, Phormium, Coleus, a bit of Lantana, Cuphea at it’s feet and blue salvia
