As a designer, container gardener and plantaholic I have learned by simply getting my hands dirty that thumbs really can go from brown to green. Join me on a fun adventure.

Talking to Plants: June 2014
http://talking-to-plants.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Gardening in Zone 4 in central Wisconsin. Sunday, June 29, 2014. Saturday at the Paine. Saturday I visited The Paine in Oshkosh. I try to get there each year once or twice. They bed out a lot of annuals, but I really like it for its bones of established shrubs and trees. It is also a public garden space which I feel has the most in common with where I actually garden. On this Saturday, it was all decked out for a wedding. Baby Duck' petunias looking good.especially given the day; one for ducks. Not alliu...

Talking to Plants: August 2014
http://talking-to-plants.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Gardening in Zone 4 in central Wisconsin. Saturday, August 30, 2014. Lady's mantle, nature's rain gauge? I can feel the season shift when the late summer rains begin. Not just a dusting, or enough to settle the dust, but rain for hours, that even our sandy soils here in central Wisconsin cannot drain away. Pools form in low spots around poorly graded garages, in the dips and the hollows. Suffice to say we got some rain. It is measurable progress; I'll take it! You can get all cutesy.

Services & Pricing. Services & Pricing. Plant Combinations: Australian Inspiration. July 1, 2015. We’re having a heat wave here in Portland, OR, and all over the Northwest in fact. We’re breaking records for both temperature and number of days, and my husband and I are very grateful that we caved and purchased a window air conditioner last year so we have a room to retreat to when the house starts to feel like the inside of a hair dryer.

Garden Containers in Vancouver, BC

Services & Pricing. Services & Pricing. Garden Containers in Vancouver, BC. June 27, 2015. Last weekend we went to Vancouver, BC for the first time. We met some family there, who were out from back east because it was their departure point for an Alaska cruise, and were able to see them for part of our stay. We had a lovely time together, and I fell in love with Vancouver over the whole of the weekend. Many of these are at the entrances of large apartment buildings, so they’re sizable. A Way to Garden.

Services & Pricing. Services & Pricing. Garden Happenings: End of April. April 23, 2015. I also like to do the rounds with some tea or coffee (or a cocktail in the evening) just seeing what’s happening in different parts of the garden, and increasingly enjoying our longer evenings with their magical light while snuggling with the dogs and watching the sunlight in the trees. Out in front, the hellstrip is filling in nicely, and the blooming irises by the telephone pole smell like grape soda. And this is l...

Talking to Plants: March 2015
http://talking-to-plants.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Gardening in Zone 4 in central Wisconsin. Sunday, March 29, 2015. The garden is still very tan and brown. Only this bright blue ceramic fish platter provides. A splash of color in this part of the garden. Here, these last few days of March, winter is holding tight. There is a board game called a Winter's Tale where the players write their own story lines. Winter or Spring wins based on the strength of the story (and the number of inspiration cards one has to play). Links to this post. Yeah, and I think I...
