We herbalists have a unique take on the commonest of herbs: instead of dismissing them as mundane or maddening, we choose to embrace wily botanicals.

A couple weeks ago, I collected and dried lavender from my garden. I asked my blogging friends for advice on what to do with it. After rea...

Pivoting to a backyard wedding during these times? Here's how to transform your backyard into bridal bliss!
There aren’t a lot of garden designers who people know by name. There are even fewer who people who don’t garden know by name. Arne Maynard is one of them. Thanks to articles in Vogue, Town and Country, Elle Decor, the New York Times and many others, Maynard is known to a lot of non-gardeners […]
Florist Style. Don't know what else to name it. An assemblage of flowers or plants arrayed as if outside a florist shop, a charming florist shop, but in your garden. . New client yesterday, and she's quite a challenge. Children, grandchildren, she & her husband own their own business, and they have 3 homes, plus lots of travel. Aside from mow-blow-go she has little to no garden help, unless it's the Gator. And, she wants a delightful garden 'show' on her deck at the main home. The deck is raised allowing for drip irrigation. Thankfully. . Florist Style for her deck. Galvanized florist canisters for cut flowers, & plastic pots of flowering plants bought at the grocery store or a nursery, slipped into canisters too. The story grows better, she loves ornamental grasses, I'll design a large prairie style grass garden for her to enjoy, and to have plenty for cutting. Pic, above, here. Her deck is large, and can handle several large evergreens, below. Once they become 'tired' they can be retired to planting in her newly designed/designated cutting garden. Pic, above, here. Very little, below, yet confidently setting a 'tone'. Exactly the top merit of Florist Style Garden Design. Pic, above, here. Pic, above, here. Before our appointment I was at another appointment, with her sister. Sister mentioned a place with an international supply of construction pieces from historic homes. She showed me a few pics of the shop & I got the name & wrote it down. Perhaps my new client can find a piece like this, above, for her Florist Style. . New client mentioned a grown son and their gardening relationship since he was a boy, I'm sure she'll send him this post, for perusal and approval. Too fun. . Garden & Be Well, XO T

Tämä on jo kolmas kesä, jolloin olen taistossa alppiruusun öttiäisiä vastaan. Ne ovat pieniä valkoisia lentäviä otuksia, jotka peittävät varsinkin uusien lehtien alapinnat. Tänä vuonna niitä ei ole yhtä runsaasti kuin kahtena edellisenä kesänä. Jotain ripsiäisiä tai villakilpikirvojahan ne ovat. Alppiruusun kukinta on kuitenkin niin ihana, että ötököiden häätämiseen jaksaa uhrata vähän aikaa. Olen suihkutellut nokkosvedellä ja mäntysuopaliuksella. Kun niitä on runsaasti, on kätevää upottaa koko oksan pää lehtineen suopaveteen. Alppiruusu ei enää meillä kuki, on vain yksittäinen matti myöhäinen - kukka. Kuvat ovat kesäkuun lopulta.
“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.” ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.~ FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTERS....that they may know that life is beautiful because God is a designer.
