CEG Homer’s Garden

Within a white picket fence and two arches is a collection of perennials and longer blooming annual flowers such as sweet alyssum, celosia, and zinnias, and self-seeding annuals such as foxglove and sunflowers, alongside spring flowering bulbs.  They create a colorful picture of a cottage garden.
