In 20 years at 72 Vermont, Marion Norwood has gardened just about every inch of her yard, including half of the driveway which she dug up to create more planting space. Her use of reseeding annuals has created a cottage garden effect. When she originally established the garden, most of the perennials were gifts from friends. Now she enjoys passing on these same plants to other gardeners. A visit to Rosemary Verey’s potager in England inspired her to make her kitchen garden decorative as well as productive. With an interest in gardening according to the phases and signs of the moon, Marion’s intent is “to create a peaceful and private meditative space where I can have fun with my cats, grow food and celebrate the changing seasons.”
