The Visitors Center is housed in an 18th Century building, so my dooryard garden is planted with herbs and flowering perennials that would have been available in 1798 when the building was built. The common orange are starting to pop up.

In my coastal planting zone (7a), can winter over in south-facing areas, especially close to a wall that reflects the warmth back at the plant. This variety "Arp" is particularly hardy here. This has been growing for years now in the Visitors Center herb garden. I have cuttings rooting indoors.

The Romanesque style Millicent Library in was financed by industrialist Henry H. Rogers of the Standard Oil Co. in memory of his daughter who died at the age of seventeen. It was designed by architect Charles Brigham and was dedicated January 30, 1893, what would have been Millicent's 20th birthday. The tower of the Unitarian Memorial Church, also a Rogers and Brigham collaboration, is to the left in the background.

These cannon have been in my hometown since before the Civil War, but Fort Phoenix itself was originally built in what is now between 1775 and 1777, only to be destroyed by British troops in September 1778. There are five of these Seacoast Defense guns here. They are fired with blank charges of black powder a few times a year. (I hold a cannon firing license.)

Outdoors in pots, I just planted seeds of flowering raspberry (Rubus odoratus), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), foxglove beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis), and New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) that I bought from the Wild Seed Project in Maine. I also started more butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) from seed I gathered from my own plants.
