Penrose Cottage 2009

The gardens at Penrose Cottage were started in July of 2003. Over the years the back garden has evolved into a American cottage style garden. The garden features a mix of perennials, Garden Flox, Black Eyed Susans, hundreds hybrid day lilies and many other types of perennials. The garden includes a small hoop house for growing tropical plants and starting seeds and cuttings. The front gardens are simple, containing Hostas, day lilies, and Azaleas.

Penrose cottage 2011

We opened up the front porch to give it the look it had back in the early 1900's when it was new. It also gives it a warmer feeling to sit there in a rocker and watch the world go by. In late spring the Hostas have started to grow and fill in. The Chocolate Akebia vines start to grow and fill the front fence and arch.
