My new book discusses the placement of arbors. Here’s an excerpt from my new book: ”Arbors have the ability to set mood. Romantic, rustic, formal, Asian, European, or cottage—an arbor knows no architectural boundaries. The connection between house and garden is extended when the style of the arbor matches the home. Repeating interesting architectural details found on the house, such as a porch railing pattern, gable pitch, color, or even a pattern found in the window mullions, will help add continuity between the house and the garden.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/9a92e4f3-d805-40f0-99be-78c9d6fd0cf7/Screenshot+2024-05-24+at+12.49.52%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/1e421d45-0e48-4eca-84a8-0ad36ba4b785/Back+40+new+area+opened.jpeg Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/e9a5fcbe-bfe8-4bf4-9cdc-90fd0d8a1c9a/Back+40+new+area.jpeg Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/2d17dfec-050c-4075-b443-059b7bbd7694/Screenshot+2024-07-27+at+10.20.19%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/41c3fa78-9d48-4350-8daa-bfdeb4cebfda/Epmedium+patch.jpeg Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/3bb9e7f7-f1c1-4774-8904-3652d5f72358/Mixed+Border+South+to+North.jpeg Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/051a4af2-5783-48f4-8d50-cbc9e26228de/Celeste+figs.jpeg Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/a7a8d3a4-43ae-41a9-a1e9-692ad0383088/Food+forest+raised+beds.jpeg Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/f480e4e0-79c8-479b-8f19-e2ceee7b7b3f/IMG_0809.jpeg Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/76ea490c-eb12-46d4-97a8-b411c39bbfc1/IMG_0876.jpeg Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Added some mulch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/271527b3-b2d9-4f5d-bc8b-e90706584d3f/Screenshot+2024-07-21+at+7.06.16%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - 2024 August Bee Better Naturally with Helen Yoest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.beebetternaturally.com/blog/2024/7/28/ive-had-it-with-rabbits monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/c36ab6f5-36ec-4d95-88f8-00869958ff05/Screenshot+2024-07-28+at+9.36.05%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - I've had it with rabbits!

Originally the LOVE SHACK with a rusted roof (painted as such) with a bench so I could sit and enjoy my children playing on the lawn. Once I got plexiglass and a roof, it was a greenhouse for a couple of years. Now it holds firewood and a single seat for me to sit and admire the garden from a different vantage point. I do love a fire in the garden. Alas, the fire pit has been put away for the spring and summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/1618058628942-4CEV0I0J7S5K0ZJ4FLM0/167728947_10158880136453382_357745140106957930_n.jpg Blog - 2023 April Garden Sustainable Maintenance Practices for the Southeast It’s that time of year again! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/618b0a14-517a-4afe-b598-6063f0c3c335/Back+40+North+to+southjpeg.jpeg Blog - 2023 April Garden Sustainable Maintenance Practices for the Southeast - Make it stand out The Back 40 (ft) North to South—Seeing the trees and shrubs leafing out is good. This area is a no-go area. By that I mean, what’s behind the hedge, is left to do it’s own thing with no maintenance from me. It’s part of my forever garden concept; areas that I can just let Nature do her thing, allowing me less maintenance. The area is mostly filled with trees and shrubs, money plant, salvia, and other pollinating plants. In front of the hedge are several hellebores that are easy to get to for maintenance. I recently cut the hellebore flowers before the seed was ripe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/5a0cf0d7-d5eb-4c7f-ad98-906b762f2d8c/Back+40+South+to+North.jpeg Blog - 2023 April Garden Sustainable Maintenance Practices for the Southeast - Make it stand out The Back 40 (ft) South to North—Same https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/c17b9a21-ef91-4215-a774-156ff4edad58/Acer+palmatum+%27Emperor%27.jpeg Blog - 2023 April Garden Sustainable Maintenance Practices for the Southeast - Make it stand out Back 40 (ft.)

He is on a mission to remove any tree that might hit the house. I’m not sure why he started here, perhaps it’s one he feels is something he can do. I did get chestnuts each year, but I never did anything with them. Picking up the seeds each year was high maintenance, so I can honestly say, I will not miss it. The ladder remains; I moved the swing back to the porch where it was originally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/c857773c-59ce-4027-b295-7f9218ed6bb6/Sandy+Claws+closeup.jpeg Blog - 2023 April Garden Sustainable Maintenance Practices for the Southeast - Make it stand out Epimedium ‘Sandy Claws’.

Before the renovation, there were plants growing in here I was forever cleaning the filter that filled with a fine silt. As with my nature, I looked at the entire area and decided it needed my attention for a complete renovation. Out came the plants and most of the vegetation, mosly ferns. Once this was done, I found there was significant erosion from the fountains splash. I backfilled ~300 pounds of fresh dirt to bring the soil level back up to the rim of the base. Instead of putting back all the plantings, I surrounded the rim with rock, both because I liked the look of this and to deflect the splash. Then I put back most of the plantings, particularly the ferns. I had seen a couple of these Japanese fishing floats in shops in Emerald Isle, so I decided that would be my art element for the fountain. These floats have proven to be costly and hard to find. So, this is a process. I have enough for the beginning of the effect, and it will be a lovely sport as I continue to search for more to add. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/6a070139-bd4e-4a1c-afdc-be02f37b333d/Chicken.jpeg Blog - Garden Art &amp; Arch in the Bee Better Naturally Garden - Make it stand out I picked up this chicken to guard the girl’s coop from the Lasting Impressions fall show.

Too bad. I was intrigued. Check out this story to see how it all happened. Afterward, even the City of Raleigh commissioned Joe to do a piece. Then there was the praying mantis at the NC State Fair. Not to be outdone, I got in touch with Joe to commission me a piece. Sure he said. I asked for something in nature. He suggested a hummingbird. As you can see, I said yes. He made this remarkable piece out of three lawnmowers and a weed whacker! Even Tony Avent commissioned a barrel monster with a pink ribbon to honor the death of his wife from breast cancer, many years ago.

Originally tobacco sticks were for hanging the tobacco in the barns to dry. They are 45"- 50" and longer. They can be a round stick or a square stick, mine are square, with pointed ends or cut ends. Typically, they are made of they are a very hard wood but sometimes pine. called me to see if I wanted them; there were about 600 sticks. With no hesitation, I said yes! I wasn’t sure how I was going to get them, but before I could even think this through, he offered to deliver them to me! It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with them. In the meantime, I stored them in the shed until one day, after about five years, my husband said, it’s time for you to figure this out. And so I did. I created a series of panels and attached them to my neighbor’s chain linked fence. I’ve never looked back. Because of tobacco moderation, tobacco sticks are not longer used. As they become increasingly rate, if you find them, they typically sell for $3 -$5, making my free fence worth $1,800 to $3,000! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/98e2e7f3-9978-435e-b865-449b7044ca00/JL+BBB+bee+bungulow.jpg Blog - Garden Art &amp; Arch in the Bee Better Naturally Garden - Make it stand out I like making interesting looking bug bungalows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/d3f472d0-9330-4b93-bc8f-b3e1213694a6/JL+BBBs+Bug+box+HY_9597.jpg Blog - Garden Art &amp; Arch in the Bee Better Naturally Garden - Make it stand out Here’s another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/ea87f838-bfd4-480d-88ef-f96e3766963d/Art+Lasting+Impressions.png Blog - Garden Art &amp; Arch in the Bee Better Naturally Garden - Make it stand out Here’s another one that bit the dust from Lasting Impressions.

She was found while on a trip to Asheville with wonderful JC Raulston Arboretum volunteer friends led by Beth. Such good memories! A little back story, While we were touring gardens, I saw several variations of this wonderful piece. Because of that, I know the artists must be local. We didn’t have time to stop by the artist’s shop, but I got lucky. My friend, Pat Korpik, traveled to the area every other week, so she was able to go to the shop and purchase this for me.

Tinka Jordy is a co-owner of Eno Gallery in Hillsborough, NC. Ms. Jordy also hosts a garden event in her home garden each spring. This piece, Moving Forward, was purchased during the first tour I attended; I believe it was around 2010. It was during a time in my life I needed to move forward. She has been my guiding light ever since. Before I purchased this piece, even before I knew of Ms. Jordy’s work, I purchased two fish on stakes from Fearrington Village when they still had the garden shop many years ago. It wasn’t until later that I realized they were Tinka’s pieces! I discovered Tinka was the artist when I saw more of them in her personal collection at the 2010 open art/garden tour.

I liked it so much, I bought ten. I knew my clients would want one too. It may have been all they had. I resold or used them in various forms from fountains (there is a hole in the mouth) to “shutters” around windows. I’ve never seen one since and I’m always so thankful that I have the wherewithal to not wait when I see a good thing. The surrounding plant is Boston ivy, Parthenocissus tricuspidata. I’ve since lost this plant, but plan to replace it. I bought two plants, one for here and the other for the other side of my house with similar conditions. The one on the other side is thriving! Boston ivy isn’t from Boston nor is it an ivy. The Boston reference come from how it thrives up north and famed for growing on buildings of Ivy League schools. The species is in the grape family native to eastern Asia in Korea, Japan, and northern and eastern China. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/ef7cf8e1-bce7-43ae-9eaa-84851ca24c63/Bottle+tree+HY_9571.jpg Blog - Garden Art &amp; Arch in the Bee Better Naturally Garden - Make it stand out Bottle tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/312737ee-6ac3-4073-a0c0-ba80cac7d981/Praying+mantis+fair.jpeg Blog - Garden Art &amp; Arch in the Bee Better Naturally Garden - Make it stand out Another praying mantis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/3eab0fad-8fd9-49b8-8938-01345e9efc8c/Art+Joel+Haaw+butterfly.jpg Blog - Garden Art &amp; Arch in the Bee Better Naturally Garden - Make it stand out A butterfly by Joel Haas.

Instead of “going bananas,” itt was time for the bananas to go. They were wonderful for the 15 years I had them, but I wanted to try something different. I will be digging up the scuppernong. Remember, scuppernong is a variety of Muscadine. scuppernongs are muscadines, but not all Muscadines are Scuppernongs. With the plants at the Fair, I redid this bed and added them here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/9d19d96d-2d43-40ca-a7d4-82794b2139ec/Black+berry+patch.jpeg Blog - 2022 November--Bee Better Naturally Sustainable Garden Update - Make it stand out The Blackberry Patch.

Knowing this makes the decision even more important. I promised I would only ask for help with something they would not have to help me in the future. Note: Up to this point, I’ve never asked for help, and I wouldn’t have this time if I wasn’t making room in the garden for more fruit-producing plants. I’ve been a fruit grower for more than 15 years. That may seem like a long time, but I’m just reaching the production age for many fruits. I will continue with this focus for the next 10+; I never thought having a purely ornamental tree made sense when you can have a fruit-bearing tree with many of the same qualities made sense, so I’m making more room for food. I know I’m adding another fig I picked up at the JCRA plant sale. This will be my fifth variety. Id lo love figs! Nothing to do with fruits, but I also cleared out the fountain and deadleafing surrounding plants. I was surprised at how much erosion there was around the reservoir. The good news? We had a lot of dirt, more than we needed, from the Joslin Garden. I opened up to everyone in the City and volunteers, and we hardly made a dent! I will take some more to fill holes left behind from digging out front ornamentals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/c29ab89b-4324-4364-b2a0-66a86b1d4540/Gazebo+corner.jpeg Blog - 2022 October Sustainable Garden Stewardship Practices for the Southeast - Make it stand out Gazebo Corner.

Once the fountain was removed, I began adding lots of wildflowers, particular wild gingers and more trilliums. It was still looking bear, so I’m making it into a miniature stumpery. It’s getting there but it will be another year or so before it’s super cute. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/a66b12a7-ee84-4555-bbec-185d33c1a486/South+side+kiwi.jpeg Blog - 2022 October Sustainable Garden Stewardship Practices for the Southeast - Make it stand out The Southside.

Made great progress clearing plantings in the reservoir and trimming plants around the base. This was when I found all the erosion. I knew it had occurred but didn’t realize just how much. fortunately, we had 6 cubic yards of good dirt left over from the project at the Joslin Garden. That was when the light bulb went off! I backfilled the fount, at about eight inches deep, then added rock around the base and only mixing in a few plants. I had the stones around; it was a no-brainer. I’m happy with how it turned out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/c603a385-1f04-4242-909b-815cbcd13c3a/Food+forest.jpeg Blog - 2022 October Sustainable Garden Stewardship Practices for the Southeast - Make it stand out The Food Forest, A lot went on here at the end of September. The path through the garden was widened; I removed the beautiful Carolina allspice, Calycanthus raulstonii 'Hartlage Wine,’ and would you believe pawpaw, Asimina triloba? The garden supports two others in the same area and another in the back. This is more than enough. I wanted more variety. Now I need to figure out what to put in my new space! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/ab66e8d5-e743-419b-8d41-da0989f95ccf/Parteer.jpeg Blog - 2022 October Sustainable Garden Stewardship Practices for the Southeast - Make it stand out Parterre.

Note Helen has a Barbie-foot pose, and it looks like Teddy has a thigh-muscle pose ;) It was so wonderful to work with Teddy. Honestly, given where the pile was dumped, we couldn’t have done it without these two powerful machines—Teddy and souped-up Gator. Teddy estimates the gator can hold around eight wheelbarrows full of mulch, and he made six street runs to move the mulch around to the street behind us, so those barrels full could then be moved downhill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/1621551829224-ONZMOQ52JIA9UK9RNDNI/Chris+and+Teddy+loading+Gater.jpg Blog - The Joslin Garden—"Outward Bound" Mulching; The Dream Team—5-20-21 - Make it stand out This last pile went to where Volunteer Aillene and I were working.

Please note how well the barrier is NOT affective. I’m not a fan AT ALL of weed barriers. Because of the barrier, we decided just to put down cardboard and cover with mulch. Maybe someday we can improve this area, but at least after next week it will not be an eye sore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/1616764704071-V67E0O3B4OXLJPBOW9PC/Volunteer+Art+repairing+the+path+edge.jpg Blog - The Joslin Garden—Getting Edgy and Mucky on March 25, 2021 I gave Volunteer Art an assist in dealing with the metal edge. At this curve, the edging was up about an inch, holding back water. We agreed it needed to be fixed. First Art tried raising it, but it was proving difficult. Then we tried hammering it to sink. That got us nowhere. So with sheer determination, Art and Helen said, “we got this.” And in deed we did. Team work is always a good idea! If you look closely, you can see my knee prints in the muck on the front side of Art. Haha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/1616710299229-QX7E8ON1Q6W99I7FCJVT/Quadrant+1+in+the+Formal+Garden+before+weeeding.jpg Blog - The Joslin Garden—Getting Edgy and Mucky on March 25, 2021 Quadrant 1 in the Formal Garden before weeeding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/1616710157751-COYQCDEHJ4E8UTN5HB6W/Before+weeding+Quadrant+1.jpg Blog - The Joslin Garden—Getting Edgy and Mucky on March 25, 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/1616711010595-JO3B123MX6XMPEGUJXY8/Helen+Yoest+after+adding+compost+to+half+if+Quadrant+1.jpg Blog - The Joslin Garden—Getting Edgy and Mucky on March 25, 2021 Ok, here I am after moving and laying compost from Compost Bin 1. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5445685239586b37f65f78/1616770706366-3GQ27HFFCHLN74SK43KE/Screen+Shot+2021-03-26+at+10.56.04+AM.png Blog - The Joslin Garden—Getting Edgy and Mucky on March 25, 2021 Volunteer Helen.
