Happy Holidays..

Holidays in the Northwest are always beautiful! Decorations and magical lights adorn many plants both indoors and outdoors. I always look forward to the lights on an evening drive. Enjoy the northwest nature each and every day.  Happy Holidays to all!

Bamboo and Peppermint in a Northwest garden. Summer!

Growing Bamboo and Peppermint in a bright and cheerful Northwest garden is very easy yet so wonderful.  Especially when the wind is gentle. The bamboo sways and moves easily on a summer evening giving a sense of peace and tranquility to any garden... and the scent of the peppermint makes for a divine end of the day...

Tide flats of Hood Canal...Washington state.

The lovely Tide Flats of Hood Canal Washington are a bit of a stretch to be called a garden.  They are only visible on a low tide. Today is an extreme low tide, all kinds of plant life are basking in the warm sunshine. Every variety of Seaweed, sea grasses, flowering northwest blooming water plants and more. A true feast for the avid nature explorer... My day is full of these lovely plants that only a few will see on any given day. Nature at its best!

Spring in a Northwest Garden...

Spring in a Northwest garden is perhaps the best time of year. It is the renewal after a long dark winter. The sunshine, blue sky, sweet scent of tulips, daffodils, flowering trees all add to the sparkle and joy of that special first day of spring...I give thanks and gratitude to mother nature for all her glory she gives us in Spring.
