Outside the home of Anne and Jeff Hemphill on the Easton Road in Presque Isle, late spring and summer visitors will find themselves among hundreds of perennial bulbs such as Daphne shrubs, daffodils and tulips. Anne Hemphill looks forward to seeing the spring flowers bloom every year and often invites people to visit the garden, pictured here in May 2017.
