Xeriscape gardens

  This  is my latest beauty, not a xeriscape plant of course.  It's Acer shirasawnum 'Moonrise' and the  touches of red on the palmate leaves are echoed in the red tulips which I'd forgotten I'd planted last fall. Nature the great designer, serendipity for the rest...

This astounding plant has been blooming all winter and is now putting on new blooms for Spring:  Helleborus 'Josef Lemper'.  I'm going to be planting a lot more hellebores this year. They are superb. What a week: a talk at Canada Blooms was such fun and...

California Dreaming

After the thrill of having magazines pieces on my garden in Garden Design and Zoomer mgazine, it's a good thing we're here in California where spring has already sprung. Our area is Carpinteria fondly known as The Carp. Our building is run by Heidi and...

AMAZING ANNUALS
