My Summer Garden Tour (July 2019) – My Previous Zone 6b Garden
A look back at my July 2019 garden at our previous home, with blooms, growth, and seasonal highlights in Zone 6B.
Hi! I’m Stacy Ling, a trained Master Gardener who grows in hardiness zone 6b here in northern New Jersey. I gardened in my previous home for about 23 years before moving to my 1850 farmhouse a in late 2021. I love keeping these older seasonal tours as part of my gardening journey because they show how my gardens evolved year after year and give you a real-life look at summer in a true Zone 6B landscape. The following is a tour of my garden that was brimming with butterflies back in 2019.

A Look Back: Butterfly Garden Tour 2019
During the 2019 growing season, I diaried and photographed all of my gardens. I love to see the gardens grow and change, and since my gardens look different every day, I documented the entire growing season.
Since documenting them here, my gardens have changed dramatically. To see what they look like now, CLICK HERE.
Here’s what’s blooming and attracting butterflies to my garden.
The Front Yard Cottage Garden
The pollinators are thoroughly enjoying the front garden.
I’ve seen several monarchs and swallowtails, hummingbirds, dragonflies, and tons of bumble bees.
They all seem so peaceful and content zipping from flower to flower to grab some nectar.
Blooms shown are Echinacea, Tall Phlox and Knock Out Roses.
Butterflies love this garden during this time of year.
My echinacea has self sowed so much there’s a lot here to attract them.
This border includes, Coral Bells, Salvia, Bee Balm, Catmint, Echinacea, Dahlias, Marigolds, Euphorbia and Tall Phlox.
I hope you enjoy my summer garden tour. It’s really cool to see how much my gardens (and aesthetic) has changed through the years. Happy Gardening!
Thank you for visiting the blog today!
