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

Mysterious holes…
Learned something interesting earlier this spring. A man came into the nursery, and asked if we could help him identify what was wrong with his Hosta leaves. They had holes, but there was no sign of anything eating them. Instead, … Continue reading
