Dede’s Sunroom Garden – FineGardening

At the moment we’re in Brewster, New York, visiting Dede Lifgren’s lovely marquee. We have visited Dede’s out of doors backyard earlier than (An Artist’s Backyard), however this is what is going on on inside.

A number of years in the past we closed off a part of our porch to make a sunroom. We wintered our favourite tropical and tender perennials there and now we are able to get pleasure from all of them winter lengthy!

Even the goldfish come inside to maintain heat within the winter. The massive aquarium helps add moisture to the surroundings.

each succulents (Euphorbia trigona, Zones 10–12) and fern (Nephrolepis exaltata, Zones 10–12) share the tiled marquee house.

Numerous greenery and sunshine are particularly welcome after a couple of months of winter!

The nice and cozy solar is flowing from the chilly open air.

That is our big and HEAVY jade plant (Crassula ovata, Zones 10–12). It is a favourite due to its dimension – though generally we want it did not develop so properly!

An enormous leopard plant (Farfugium japonicum, Zones 7–10), a tree philodendron (Philodendron bipinnatifidum, Zones 10–12) and a few art work share a nook.

I pinned this begonia to a moss stake to avoid wasting house. Though temperatures are saved cool within the sunroom, it seems content material.

Our canines benefit from the sunny location of the sunroom and the all the time out there water within the aquarium! The goldfish does not appear to thoughts.
