It seems I get the most interesting jobs. This MASSIVE Sequoia serves as the spiritual center of the #benedictinesisters campus in Mt Angel. I’m helping them with designs for a few areas and was truly taken with this incredible tree. #sequoia #spiritualcenter #centeringHad fun making bouquets today. Started with one, had leftover cuttings, made another half, picked more, had leftovers - and so on. In the end, I had four vases full of lovelies, from the gardens @joycreeknursery . Which are like a giant box of crayons for folks like me. 😊 #playingwithplantsWas going through old photos, and found this. This is what happens when your best beloved comes home with a bag of rubber noses. 😂🤣😂Inside working on thi beautiful day, but hd to sneak out a little bit to see if there was anything new in the garden. There wasn’t, but I snapped a few shots of where I’d rather be. #wannagooutside #feelingsorryformyselfClose up of #anemonopsis #anemonopsismacrophyllaCame across this shot of a favorite planter from a few years ago, created for my friend Marian. Tried it in my garden too, but didn’t ’t have enough sun to make it look this good. Oh well, it’d be a shame not to try... . . @marianazorr #greenongreen #containerplanting #grevilleaivanhoe #echinaceagreenjewel #carextestacea #lysimachianummulariaaurea #opticvervedesign
