Phlox Hill Garden
Since 2010, Janet has planted and tended a 5000 square foot test garden that now has more than 250 species of U.S. native plants (mostly native to Maryland).
The garden is named for the 3 weeks each spring when the front hill is covered in a carpet of pink and purple Phlox subulata.
Follow Bloom Wild on Instagram to see what is blooming on the hill!
