Thanks for having me here today.
I read Saturday Morning Garden Blogging often -- but I live on the west coast, so I usually read it late compared to when it posts. I am a great fan of this series, though. For the past handful of years, I lived in the Seattle basin and didn't have a lot of space for gardening. I had a container garden on my terrace, and that was a challenge. It was fun and usually full of herbs and flowers, but my bigger gardening projects were planted in a community garden plot.
I moved last year, and took on a long term garden design project. The land has been cared for by previous owners who are talented and immaculate gardeners, and a lot of what I have is due to their love and hard work. Homage to them. That said, it's a little too "done" for me, and we're letting some of it revert to its natural state. I have a lot of great indigenous plants like rhodos, azaleas, and ferns.
The photos are from my rose beds -- I can only take credit for one of them. The previous owners established some beautiful roses here, and the warm snap last week really brought them to life.
