Step back into history with us on Creative Gardens w/ The Saugonian Gardener.
Be watching for our show on the perennial, herbal and butterfly gardens at the Iron Works here in Saugus soon to be broadcast sometime in august.
Gardening has for year been a means of providing beauty as well as functional gardens for households throughout the centuries dating back to our founding days in the 1600s through current times.
Many of the plant material today was devised from earlier species known for their provision to culinary as well as medicinal qualities they provided to the local community.
Perennials have been hybridized over the years to add to their overall beauty and thus creating plants of greater beauty and quality, hardiness, and adding to the perennial and herbal gardens in use today by local gardeners, bith seasoned and novice gardeners alike.
Such [lants as the Moss rose for instance is today a plant the has far fewer thorns and by far a more fragrant flower then it's earlier predecessor.
Our feeling in featuring this program was to provide the viewer an understanding of where the plantsof today came from so many years ago.
though gardens years ago were designed for their functional use, many use the garden today to provide much the same function. This program is designed with an interest just for you our faithful viewers in hopes you too will gain and interest and appreciation of where our plants originated. Sit back and enjoy and as always, write in to our email at sctvgarden@comcast.net with your questions and we are always here to help you understand the uniqueness of gardening of today as well as that of the earlier years. we hope you enjoy the program and find it helpful in selecting plants for your own garden. With this new insight to the numerous varieties available today that are derived from those of the early years even far earlier than the period they were introduced here in the United States.
