Walking along the main street, I saw the biggest star jasmine vine. The Historical Clawson House had a lovely planting arrangement that I particularly liked.Ī large swath of flowering coreopsis contrasted beautifully with the gray/blue agave showing us that you don’t need a lot of different types of plants to make a statement in the garden – sometimes less is more effective. Up on her wire fence, she had an old miner’s pan and soup pot hanging from a post. In this garden, the homeowner added a splash of color by using brightly-colored bottles to form an informal border along her raised beds. The gardens in Bisbee often made use of old, antique pieces that intermingled almost seamlessly among garden plants. Missing were the more tropical plants such as bougainvillea, yellow bells and lantana, which struggle to survive the winters in this area. Much of the plants were the same of what you would see growing throughout central and southern Arizona. Because this historic town is also higher in the mountains, it doesn’t get as hot in the summer months. What I haven’t shown you in my earlier posts are the plants and gardens of Bisbee, which deserve their own post.īisbee is located in zone 8a, which is means that it gets about 10 degrees colder then Phoenix and Tucson areas.
Earlier this week, I have been sharing with you about our recent trip into the old, mining town of Bisbee, AZ.įrom unique pieces of art, the friendly people, great food and endless stairways, our trip was so much fun.
