Garden Spotlight: Mary Kay Williams

A lot can fit into a sideyard. Here are grapes, a pomegranate, peach, nectarine, fig, and tomatoes in Earthboxes. I choose small varieties and summer prune to keep everything small.

I love succulents and many other Arboretum plants purchased at plant sales. I can't help myself!

Cement sewer rounds hold most of my veggies. And there is a glass greenhouse to baby my starts. Galahad tomato did best this year.

I enjoy propagating plants after working on a team with Stacey Parker at the Arboretum and Public Garden. Succulents and figs grow from cuttings and it's fun to try different veggie varieties from seed.

We took out the grass in the front and added a string of dwarf citrus trees.

Here’s the citrus row five years later!
