Just submitted an article I wrote on Aging in Place Gardening for the HPSO’s spring newsletter. There are many points to be made on the subject, of course, but one of the quotes that resonated with me was ”Art requires less work than plants, so if a plant isn’t performing as it should...” Well, you get the idea. Here is an example of what that might look like, that I just love. Look for it some time in April - a peek at the wonderful gardens of Marian & Rick. @marianazorrIt blooms for so long that after a few months, I shamefully admit to get a bit tired of it, but that just shows you how spoiled I am. When the light hits it just so, it’s just a beautiful display. #camelliasasanquayuletide #camelliayuletideLook at that blue sky! Here seen through the tracery of a #liquidambar or #sweetgum - the kind of tree that I appreciate more in other people’s gardens. Today was just a beautiful day, and we passed under this beauty on our walk around the neighborhood.

After three years of relative misery in progressively larger pots, it’s finally tall enough to have its head above the fray in the spot where I want it, so it finally got its feet in the ground. By the time I finished, it was dark, so no photo yet. It’s pretty much a stick this time of year anyway. Snapped a couple of other little vignettes, lit by my favorite solar spots. #plantedatreetoday #treesaretheview #carexsparkplug #ferns #epimediumfargesiiA favorite spot on my neighborhood walk. Love the foliar textures, and the fact that it completely conceals the house behind it. #neighborhoodwalk #evergreenshrubs #evergreentrees #fabfoliage #screeningplants #privacysolution #busystreet #shutouttheworldelegantly

The beauty of clean, Green E-board – put the leftovers on your roses!
Did you know that we here in the U.S. throw out 221.7 million tons of garbage – every DAY!!! A whopping 20% of that comes from the building and construction industry! So not surprisingly, when I find a product or … Continue reading
