Welcome to the
I spotted Phillip Nixon’s Garden in Apartment Therapy last week when they referred to it as an “Indiana Jones Oasis”. (oddly, IMO, because nothing about this makes me think of Indian Jones – is it just me?). The home and garden was inspired by Morocco but it lives in Venice Beach, California. The AT story was […]
My plants have just about passed on for the season. The last of the leaves are strew across the lawn with only a couple still hanging on. I rarely feel sad about this as I cherish the fertile darkness that is the back drop to the holiday season. But it is nice to see these […]
The simple fact that such a bounty can come from a pile of dirt on top a building inspires me to no end. Gardening is most certainly a science and a chore and a thing that with practice, experience and knowledge you can get a lot better at. But it is also pretty simple – […]
Today’s daily garden was designed by Secret Gardens of Sydney, Australia. This garden is just beautiful and truly a showpiece for keeping it simple and making the most of a small town garden.

I shared this yesterday (but with different images) on my Gardenist column at Apartment Therapy….but I love it so much I am going re-share this sweet story here too. It all started with a shopping trip for local handmade treasures. On their adventure, they […]
I love this quick project (using free pallets and a little stain!) that transformed an ugly industrial wall…. Inspired by this garden by Stacy K Floral: and this garden By Fern at Life on the Balcony : David Walrod of Urban Dirt, created this garden: Charming right? And that wall looks so much better now don’t you […]
Have you taken down your holiday decorations? Mine are long gone, but I can’t help but post this front landscape and accompanying roof garden (resplendant with pre-holiday decor) because not only is the garden just so cool, but I kind of love the way the pointsettias and the pretty stars play to the landscape in such […]
