The only reason these two gardens are sharing a post is that I took few pictures of them in 2009. Sea Nest, a wonderful place to stay on the Long Beach Peninsula, had changed owners and we were changing the garden to be more low maintenance. For some reason the deer don’t bother this garden, [...]

Yes, we just quit a job that we have done for several years, a business landscape which was admired and appreciated by the old management. The new management wanted an austere look, and after a couple of months of boredom, I [...]

Toward the end of last week, we joined with a few members of the Ilwaco tree committee to fertilize the street trees. I was feeling migraine-y and so eager to get home and relax, but the tree meeting called: Kathleen Sayce, Bob Bogar and Allan doing the tree committee thing: fertilizing. That night was one [...]
