Today we\u2019re visiting Sarah in St. Louis, Missouri (Zone 7a), where colorful perennial plantings, creative containers, and plenty of pollinator-friendly flowers bring her small garden to life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"394\" data-end=\"679\"><em data-start=\"394\" data-end=\"679\">After a new patio was built in 2023, I was eager to design and plant the new blank space. Now in 2026 it is really starting to fill in beautifully. My small garden is packed with perennials, and the patio comes to life in the spring with containers full of lush and colorful annuals.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"1021\"><em data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"1021\">I enjoy growing flowers for cutting, especially giant zinnias. I enjoy flower arranging, especially in a secondhand vase or pitcher. I belong to my local garden club and a community garden a few blocks away. I\u2019m thankful for the community garden because it gives me the opportunity to grow things I don\u2019t have room for in my small garden.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1272\"><em data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1272\">In 2026, I began sharing my gardening journey on YouTube at Sarah\u2019s Moments in the Garden.
