A Classic Fall Garden

Far from winding down in autumn, this suburban Wisconsin garden is hitting some of its sweetest notes of the year.

Dorothy's inspiration

To gain inspiration for her fall garden, Dorothy started visiting garden centers every autumn and brought home "anything blooming," she says. Late performers are planted next to spring bloomers so each can take the stage in its own season and disguise the other.

"In my mind, music and gardening are intimately related," says Dorothy, who is retired from a 26-year career teaching music in local public schools. "Both art forms require much discipline to bind together the elements of color, harmony, rhythm, variety and repetition to bring the work to completion."
