Being enchanted by both cats and gardens, I decided to start this blog for fun to combine the beauty of both. I know that many of you share my interest in and I hope you will submit your own images of your garden cats. Here is how to submit your image: - Email to KathyJentz (at) gmail (dot) com - Put "Cats in Gardens" in the subject line - Attach your image(s) - In the body of the email include: ~ your name or you can choose to be "anonymous" ~ the cat's name (if known) ~ where the photo was taken (city, state, country) ~ if you have a blog or web site you would like to be linked back to ~ a note about the cat or the garden or both, we love to hear your stories!
September in Illinois is the number one month to plant. The soil is warm so plants root quickly The temperatures begin to moderate Rainfall is more frequent, think less watering! With all these benefits, perennials, in particular, will fully root prior to freezing. Sounds good doesn't it?! Thinking of a landscape renovation? My uppermost principle is to wed your homes architecture to the landscape. Each should compliment the other. Let's investigate further......... My hands down favorite! WHY THIS WORKS; creating a focal point with the center protrusion . the 3 fountains repeat the color ways in the roof . the hardscape blends with the color ways of the siding WHY THIS DOES NOT WORK; No thought to the landscape let alone to the magnificent architecture. One of the aspects to think about is if you prefer asymmetrical, as above, or symmetrical designs. Many times the house will make that decision for you, however it is not a steadfast rule. A symmetrical design that flows with the architecture. WHY THIS WORKS; My favorite combination, the structured bones of the boxwood which mirrors the structured lines of this home and the randomness of the flowers which take a nod to a farmhouse The white of the home is reflected in the flower selection WHY THIS WORKS; symmetrical . the boxwood pattern is another layer as are the steps . an uncomplicated design for a contemporary home WHY THIS WORKS; If i may be so bold, this after all, one of our clients.....A European styled cottage and the same style landscape, random and free flowing. Note however the repetition of plants down the line, a good pattern to follow for this type of garden or it can be too hodgepodge. . The broken stone path is a nod to the homes stone and brick work . bench in the far background is the same color as the limestone in the walk WHY THIS WORKS: the pathway emulates the rectangle pattern of the stone wall and the door . same color way . an example of symmetry in the landscape against a asymmetrical home . lighting emanating from the front door is the same in the garden, LED uprights would have been incorrect WHY THIS WORKS; At times the architecture is so interesting a subtle landscape allows the home to shine . The Belgian fence of ivy, mirrors the transom lights WHY THIS DOES NOT WORK, WELL; A cape cod styled home, in it's grandest form to a simple cottage has a great landscape style. This looks like they ran out of money! How can I say this when in the above image I said simple can do well without upstaging the architecture? Now this is all personal opinion, but think this could have been so much more interesting. Sometimes you have a home style that is regional, as in this case a more modest cape. If your home is of a regional style think about the indigenous plants. Capes say Hydrangea's, roses and ornamental grasses WHY THIS WORKS; Planting are appropriate for the home . The fence matches the trim and the style . The arched arbor mirrors the windows and the porch, WHY THIS WORKS; A GREAT blend of materials . the portico roof, door, containers, hardscape all play off each other. NOTE: My fav bluestone called 'Full Range' has tones of browns in it and is less expensive! WHY THIS DOES NOT WORK; A hulk of a house, Teutonic in style, has such a small and diminutive garden, but there are great lessons here. Notice how the beds hug the house, scale wise they should be much larger with much larger plantings . There is nothing going for it that relates to the architecture, colors or materials WHY THIS WORKS; The hardscape blends with the stone on the house . The ball finial repeats the circular element on the portico and further enhanced with the boxwoods WHY THIS WORKS; Scale is great with the garden extending away from the house. Consider doing this so that when you look out your windows you have a great view. Hugging too tight to the house eliminates that opportunity . The orange of the trim is repeated with the plantings . An informal style matches nicely WHY THIS WORKS; Love how the grand entrance is made even more so by the plants hugging the house and not the walk . plantings are appropriate for the architecture . The square blocks in the walk reflect the door and window pattern Love how the topiaries are trimmed to reflect the windows WHY THIS WORKS; Ornamental grasses are perfect for this style and particularly planted en masse . The house is very austere, the plantings loose and sway with the wind, opposites attract No doubt you are seeing the trend Perfection When adding structure, pick up color ways on the house Lastly, want to thank everyone that participated in our event DOG DAYS OF SUMMER. Thought you might like to see some of the images from our photographer Nancy Villwock Our manager, Monica's dog Cooper This man signed up for the raffles and won the Dash and Albert bed! We exceeded our hopes in donations. A dear friend of mine from upstate New York read the blog and sent in a donation All photo's inside and outside the shop. This pooch is 14 and in the latter days of her life. Her people had a series of gorgeous photo's taken. These images are of two siblings available for adoption, CUTE! Thank you Nancy and to all that participated to benefit H.E.L.P! Debra

We all know cats love Catnip, but what other plants and herbs give them a sensory blast in the garden? Here’s my top ten plants you can grow at home to create a kitty paradise that can be enjoyed…
Back to the cats of Nick Adam Lawes.... Recently, he shared a collection of garden cat photos with us and we started with Max and then George, Max's brother. After those two handsome boys, I thought it was time to let some girls shine - see Klara and Sofia. This week, we have Viktor. Whom Nick describes as a "Viktor is a real garden cat. He’s shy, but loves being with me when I am working in the garden." You can find more of Nick's photos and about the home restoration at his web site: https://www.fromno19.com/.
I've been doing slightly better than normal keeping up with my gardens this summer. Sara and Alysa have been helping me dead-head marigolds...

Garden writer Marianne Willburn took this photo of Neil the Great Dixter Cat while she was attended the garden symposium there this past week. She says, "Neil the Dixter cat. Rescued as a kitten from Kabul. He followed us around the garden on the gentlest of evenings." If you are not familiar with Great Dixter, it is a legendary garden in the UK. It has "an historic house, a garden, a centre of education, and a place of pilgrimage for horticulturists from across the world. Great Dixter was the family home of gardener and gardening writer Christopher Lloyd – it was the focus of his energy and enthusiasm and fuelled over 40 years of books and articles." And HOW did I not know there is a "Cat Garden" there! Head Gardener, Fergus Garrett describes the Cat Garden: "This area has a damp meadow containing marginals such as Caltha polypetala amongst vigorous perennials such as Ranunculus acris ‘Stevenii’ and Symphythum ‘Romanian Red’. Old fashioned lilacs sit on the higher level amongst meadow cranesbills (Geranium pratense) and Fritillaria meleagris. Ceanothus ‘Puget Blue’ hugs the building opposite a sprawling Tamarix tetrandra." On top of that there is an illustrated book all about Neil! It is called: "The Journey of Neil The Great Dixter Cat you can order it via our Amazon link at: https://amzn.to/3a3D1lc (we may get a few pennies, but it will not effect your purchase price). The book tell the story of the "loving men who rescued her (Neil means 'champion' in Irish), and brought her to live out her days in the most beautiful wild garden in the world -- the Great Dixter Garden. Honey Moga, the author, plays a role in the story and her introduction is also fully illustrated, including her dream of being an author after her husband walks out and leaves her alone with nine children. Inspiring, uplifting and true, this is a unique history and a beautifully illustrated depiction of the magical garden where the courageous cat Neil now resides happily."
