I Stand Corrected

I am posting at 5pm today as I spent the entire day shopping for plants for my clients. This is my idea of great fun. Bogie Lake Greenhouse today-beautiful. After writing yesterday in my Sunday Opinion about the mustang Mark drove to Patty’s the day he proposed, he tells me it is in fact a Chevy Camaro. Apparently I know plants better than I know vintage cars. Mark cut all the weeds down from around it today-he doesn’t quite get how romantic a garden object that Camaro is in an ocean of grasses. I will try later in the summer to get that dreamy picture. For a post on garden sculpture, for sure. He tells me the Camaro restoration will have to wait until his kids are through college. But its a very special memory, that car, parked in his landscape.

Though her formal education is in English literature and biology, she worked as a fine artist in watercolor and pastel from 1972-1983. A job in a nursery, to help support herself as an artist in the early 80’s evolved into a career in landscape and garden design.

Her three companies provide a wide range of products and services to the serious gardener. She has been writing this journal style blog since April of 2009.
