    No tips or advice here. Just wanted to say how lovely it looks and I can only imagine how much more lush it will be in another month! Lucky you!

    Beautiful! I inherited lots of invasive/aggressive plants. 😅

    It is gorgeous! It’s my hope that when I finally move, the next resident will appreciate the efforts I put in.

    Looks like you have azaleas and camellias? They’re common around here too. The camellias seem to thrive without much maintenance. For azaleas you’ll want to prune them right after they finish blooming, to maximize blooms next year. I’ve had good luck just using a hedge trimmer and taking a couple inches off all the way around.

    What is in Pic 1 and Pic 3?

    I think i live in a similar climate or area to you, so thinking these could work for me

    It’s beautiful! My first suggestion would be to make yourself a garden binder. Kinda sketch out your layout, try to identify as many plants as you can, and then you can find their care info through university extension publications.

    Alternatively, or in addition, if you’re in the US, reach out to your local master gardener’s office and see if you could get someone who would be willing to come tour your garden and help you identify everything and help you identify any “weeds” that you might want to get rid of.

    But be aware before you pull anything out that you may have things that show up later in the spring and summer. Google images searches aren’t usually too far off for me, and I’m sure someone on here can suggest a better plant identification site or app.

    Good luck!
