Regarding all things that inspire the making and keeping of a garden
My clients' garden was accepted into Portland's ANLD Garden Tour, and 550 people came through the garden on tour day. What a day! Here I share some of my favorite impressions from that day, which--the only thing I can think to compare it to--is like one's own wedding day.

With this platform I explore the inspirations behind good gardens—beauty, nature, ideas from travel, garden tours, journeys (trails), plant composition, spacial design, natural ecosystems, etc. I’m passionate about what gives certain outdoor spaces their spark, what makes them comfortable, or uplifting, or healing. The best gardens have love and “Life” behind them. An indefinable quality, but you feel it.
My own garden is in Scappoose, OR, USA, 25 minutes north of Portland, near the Columbia River. Zone 7b (occasional low 7ºF).
