I didn't know there was mining here in TN. Where I grew up in NJ/NY there were a lot of mining remnants, particularly in Sterling Forest, the old buildings are so haunting. It's also sad to think how many trees were cut down to fire the smelters.Lzyjohttp://wormandflowers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-8203830475550685272009-06-25T00:31:18.416-05:002009-06-25T00:31:18.416-05:00I love garden tours and I so love this especially ...I love garden tours and I so love this especially because of the water feature.

I can't believe how she created that gorgeous waterfall.<br /><br />As for your St John's Wort, get your video camera ready. You won't believe the bee frenzy on those yellow blooms.

What a story her garden tells, the plants and especially the furnace and waterfall. The zebra swallowtails will only lay eggs on the paw paw tree, she must have some nearby. The hypericum is a favorite here too, we added H. frondosum last year for those yellow starburst blooms.
