Donna writes, "This is one of two matching mixed gardens in front of my main barn. It contains Blue Lake bush beans in front, followed by purple butterfly bushes, with a strip of cosmos-and-wildflowers in back, and anchored on each end with a blueberry bush and two lavender plants. I love mixing flowers and edibles in the same bed!" Comments | Permalink Mike Watson tells history of the Field House for MTS Festival
