http://www.cybertoad.us/garden/ - Welcome to my garden. I am pretty new to gardening and have lots to learn. I live in Houston, Texas which is a warm Zone 9a.

http://home.hiwaay.net/~oliver/evolution.html - (OK, this is not quite on the gulf coast, but the site is to nice not to put up here for inspiration alone - keith) Our garden is located in Florence, Alabama, a town that sits right along the Tennessee River in the northwest section of the state. We bought the house in 1992 and the garden (or I suppose I should say "yard") consisted of a few neglected fruit trees and a massive lawn that took two hours to mow.

http://glosgarden.tripod.com/ - Had this one before, but she moved.  We found here again.

http://www.burger.com/garden.htm - This Houston Attorney has put together a super resource for Gulf Coast Gardeners.

J's Garden Jungle - It's a Jungle out there! After working a hard day in the IT field and then driving home on the concrete superslab, it's nice to come home to a relaxing view and complete tranquility. The sound of water running in the ponds always stills the air and calms the soul. Relax, smell the blooms, listen for a himmingbird, spot a butterfly and plant a Texas Native today. I frequent Anderson Landscape and Nursery and Buchanan's Native Plants and recently wrote several articles which can be found at Native and Natural and Bog garden, composting important keys to healthy, productive soil.

http://www.zebrafinch.com/MyGarden/Garden.html - A subtropical garden in Franklin, La which is about 15 miles from New Dawn.

http://www.nettally.com/skinnerd/ombrage.html - Welcome to Le Jardin Ombragé, a plant collector's garden. Here you will find many plants that are not normally grown in the DEEP SOUTH and many others that are well suited to the climate, but not commonly seen here. Tallahassee's heat and humidity, along with its short winter dormancy season, limit us from growing many of the plants that thrive in the North and the West, but I keep trying. I have included both my successes and my failures on these web pages.

http://www.shelsgarden.com/index2.html - This site celebrates gardening and nature, and also my love of a few other things . . . photography, the environment, native plants, and my two daughters. I've added a touch of fantasy, a feeling of peace, and an appreciation for the beauty of nature. After all, nature can give us a peace that the rest of life sometimes denies us.
And I'm Shelley . . . welcome!

http://www.geocities.com/ccduster/page3.htm - The Callahan Garden Page. We enjoy gardening year round here in South Louisiana with it's fairly mild winters. We grow trees and flowering shrubs native to the area and also an extensive fruit orchard numbering some 300 trees and many muscadine grapes. These are some of the fruit we grow:

http://home.att.net/~SpanishMoss/southerngarden.html - Welcome to my Southern Garden Site. This Garden Site is dedicated to both of my grandmothers, who were avid gardeners and who were as different from each other as night from day. Each instilled in me a love of gardening and an appreciation of the beauty of flowers.

http://www.geocities.com/debverhoeven/garden/index.htm - A personal garden site from Florida.  This garden was eaten by Hurricane Ivan, something I can fully identify with.  Two years after Hurricane Lily our gardens are finally recovering, but will definitely not be the same.

http://www.ffgc.org/horticulture/fl/mcmillion/mcmillion.htm - SHADE was the last thing avid gardener Ruth McMillion expected to contend with after moving some 1,100 miles south to the "Sunshine State".   Ironically, that's exactly what she faced 3 years ago, after moving from Wisconsin to Cantonment, located on the west end of the Florida panhandle. 

http://www.louisianagarden.com/index.shtml - A personal garden site from Southeast Louisiana.

http://www.zydecoirises.com/ - Zydeco Louisiana Iris Garden is the outgrowth of a thirty year hobby growing and hybridizing these irises.  It is a small and personal operation in the New Orleans area.  Hopefully it will grow but retain the personal spirit that binds iris growers and makes this more fun than business.

http://texasnaturalist.net/yard/plantlist.htm - This page contains a list of the plants and trees that thrived in our former wildlife habitat in Houston, Texas, Zone 9.

http://www.watchingyou.com/lousgarden.html - Welcome to my back yard in stunning Katy, Texas! It's merely a standard suburban tract home, but I greatly enjoy puttering around in my back yard.

http://www.vintagerosery.com/welcome.htm - Welcome to the second best place you can visit. The best place, of course, are our gardens here on our 50-acre antique rose farm in the heart of Fort Bend County, Texas, not far from Houston or Sugar Land.  In our gardens, you might find some old roses your grandparents grew. We grow over 170 varieties on the property with more than 800 roses in the ground throughout the many gardens. We do not charge an admission fee for visitors.

Through her books, Gardening in the Coastal South and Southern Gardening, an Environmentally Sensitive Approach, she hopes to help gardeners throughout the South learn to garden more effectively and with keener insight into the impact they make on the environment. Her third book, Groundcovers  for the South was released in April 2006..

http://www.geocities.com/mrnglry/yard.html - We wanted to attract birds, especially hummingbirds, and butterflies to our yard, so we planted althea, hibiscus, hycinth bean, hummingbird bush, butterfly bush, canna, globe amaranth (my mother called them bachelor's buttons) penta, and zinnia for them.
