Don’t know about you, but on a day this hot, my outlines are starting to blur, too. Ugh - be kind to yourselves out there. #keephydrated💦 #hangingintheshade @drinkalotoffluids #clematisviticellaprincecharles#clematisroyalvelours clambering up my #styraxjaponica . I’m thinking, since it’s there, and since it’s kind of a pain-in-the-ass tree, I might as well put it to good use. #livingtrellis #myjungle #mygardenHad a wonderful time with dear buddy @williammcclenathan powering through seven open gardens on the Garden Conservancy Open Garden Tour, today. Did some much needed catching up while enjoying some beautiful settings. Our day started out with the best Bloody Mary I think I’ve ever had at another dear friend’s house - thank you, Lori and Juno! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend too! 💚Ventured out to theeast side for Korean food, and drove past the now defunct D7D nursery. I got a laugh out of their farewell message... What do they mean by THAT??? 😂🤣😂#notsure #crypticmessages #wwttA sundrenched expanse of shrubs and blooming sedum that makes me happy every time I see it as well as its owner! @marianazorr #frontgarden #lowmaintenancegarden #lowwatergarden #opticvervedesignThese tightly curled flowers always make me think of those 18th century powdered wigs - except better color. I believe this is some variety of #clematiscrispa - maybe a seedling . @joycreeknursery #joycreeknursery

You know how sometimes your expectations are so high that the real thing falls short? For several years now, I have been aware of the existence of this local nursery which specializes in gardening with our liquid element – water. I … Continue reading
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
