To redefine and expand the garden area, Jenn lined the garden bed with gray cobblestones. These were sourced by Plymouth Quarries (https://ift.tt/2XYqiXU ). Most of the plants Jenn used in the garden were already existing and just needed to be divided up. However, Jenn did select a few additional plants to add some color and textures to the garden, including tickseed, echinacea purpurea, garden phlox, coreopsis, and heather, which she got at Mahoney’s Garden Center (https://ift.tt/2g04J4N ). The other materials Jenn used to expand the garden, including shovels and mulch, can be found at home centers and nurseries.
