A Few Of My Favorite Things

This week around the neighborhood.

Happy Valentine's Day.

A Rain Garden

A smart and pretty idea for the Pacific NW.

Thanks for stopping by. Back soon with more gardenrooms!

Lagom

The rain has definitely been here in the Pacific NW this week but so has the sunshine. Happy weekend, hope you're able to get outside!

Not too much, not too little, just enough.

More Child Friendly Gardens

A Sweet family of four inspired this SF garden. They needed a safe place to play above their deck so an old carport behind their house with access from an alley was converted and grass installed. We built a corner sand box and painted a chalk board above it. The bottom photo is of a garden in the east bay that had a long narrow deck in a terraced back garden. We took out the deck, removed concrete and leveled it as best we could to install a flat grass area to play on. Many packs of naturism seeds were sowed in the all the flower beds. I love the way both gardens turned out!

Making

January was a month of making things indoors with wood and textiles, I'll share more of that soon! This weekend I'm looking forward to having outdoor time in our garden. The weather is supposed to be glorious.
Happy Friday Folks.

Garden Fever

Garden Fever is one of my favorite weekly jaunts. I'm into their selection of buddhas right now and of course longing to garden and for color, it's inspiring to look around. Hope your week is off to a good beginning!

Back soon with more gardenrooms.

A Few Of My Favorite Things

Happy weekend folks! It's raining in the Pacific NW today but warm enough to be outdoors. If I look closely I can see the buds on the trees and the daphne is just about ready to open. Lots of good stuff going on this year so far, very grateful for the energy to keep up. Back soon with more outdoor plants and gardenrooms, thanks for stopping by.

Gifts from others and to ourselves.

Winter Gardening

It was fun looking for seeds, plants and inspiration at a local garden center today. Winter gardening inside can be beautiful. I'll post photos and updates as I germinate and collect edible and flowering plants over the next few months!

Happy gardening. the site for this nursery is gardenfever.com

Container Gardening

I'm getting excited to start planting again. Container gardening is such a great way to showcase special flowers and grow food. Little ones love getting their hands soiled and planting right along with you. Below are some of my favorites from last year. Hope your week is off to a get start!
