Joseph over at Greensparrow Gardens has a keen eye for the quirks of gardeners and designers (which he incorporates into his garden cartoons).  Happily (or embarrassingly), I can relate to far too many of his weekly doodles.  I am so pleased that he took me up on my offer to guest here and create a […]

A whimsical watercolor illustration depicts a small Marston & Langinger greenhouse with a glass roof and vibrant flowers in pots lined on the table in front. Surrounded by lush greenery and tall trees, the scene evokes a serene and peaceful garden environment under a bright blue sky.

Do you ever have moments when you just can’t think of a name for anything? Well, about three weeks ago, I had one of those moments when my handyman friend asked me if I could recommend a good conservatory builder for a client of his. My mind immediately went to Marston and Langinger, but it […]

I always admired the street art flair that seemed to naturally be part of the photocopied […]

A vibrant pattern features large mint-green circles, yellow stars, dark green dots, and pink elongated ovals evenly distributed across a white background. The design has a playful and abstract quality reminiscent of an old planting plan, creating a visually engaging and dynamic composition.

This is an old planting plan that has inspired me to start collecting something – planting plan art. I am as drawn to this as I am drawn to Edna Walling’s watercolors and Piet Oudolf’s sheets of colorful shapes and symbols rendered in marker. Through all my writing adventures, I have stumbled across so many […]
