I am, first and foremost, a spring gardener. I love everything about spring and focus my efforts on gardening then because my body doesn’t like heat and humidity. I have about 10,000 spring-blooming bulbs and 200 spring ephemerals in my yard. There’s nothing better than seeing those first shoots pop through snow and mulch.

Patience, perseverance and lots of work produce results!

So excited for a new season of sunshine and rainbows!

With a little effort, a garden can welcome wildlife and your flowers.

This is a picture of a zinnia I planted in a school garden in Jim Falls last summer. Not only did the zinnias attract pollinators, the students used them to make bouquets for their teachers when they returned to school in September.

Guests and passing-by walkers enjoy helping themselves from our herb garden, which frames our corner lot side entrance. The sign, with scissors, says, “Snip a little, Enjoy a lot!” Our plants flourish with the regular pruning and all our meals benefit from the herbal abundance.
