To learn about the striking plants in Susan’s garden, visit A Tall, Dancing Garden  on page 73 in Gardening from a Hammock.

Susan prides herself on being a thrifty gardener and encourages people to spend more money on soil than on plants. “If plants are sited right with good soil, they will thrive”, she says. She also doesn’t follow the trends, but sticks to the old-fashioned, time-proven plants, favouring natives that attract birds and other pollinators.
