Cafe au Lait ... like the rest of Instagram, I’ve fallen for you.

It’s easy to understand why Japanese anemones are sometimes called “windflowers”. These are one of my favorite perennials. The fact they grow this tall in part shade is nothing short of amazing to me. The plants you see here are over 4 feet tall. 😍

The Autumn garden.

Door leading to the covered patio room from the Ellen Biddle Shipman garden at the Stranahan estate in Toledo, Ohio. The great thing about this garden is it’s size. This small garden design would fit into most typical suburban yards in the Midwest. It provides tons of design inspiration. I highly recommend a visit.

Today we visited Stranahan estate in Toledo, Ohio. Robert A. Stranahan was one of the founders of the Champion Spark Plug company. The company moved to Toledo in 1910. The property has a restored garden (pictured in photo) designed by Ellen Biddle Shipman, one of the first female Landscape Architects in the US. The garden and house were a real treat to visit.

I’ve cleared out all the overgrown Annabelle hydrangeas from the back garden. Now I’ll add more Casa Blanca lilies and a few perennials to prep for next season. Our weather has been perfect this September. Happy Wednesday. 🌳💚
