It arrives when there’s something worth saying.
Usually a couple of times a month. Sometimes less. Never noisy.

Thinking in public about gardens, design, and stewardship.

Loved Designing Women! 

Girl, yes. I feel like around here we can offer the subsets of New Naturalism that might be called... "Austin chic" -- "Micro Prairie" -- "Denver parking lot" aesthetics with real easy plug and play plants -- Salvia yangii - Yucca - Catmint - Yarrow and I SO care about creating templates free to landscapers and growing the plants for them. 
I'm eager for more content & action around this. Awesome!

I'm eager for more...!

Several weeks ago, while ruminating about my disorganized garden, I flitted here and there in/out of websites, blogs, IG, etc. I snuck some time to listen to your free lecture, taking notes on the back of scrap receipts found in my pockets). I LOVED your presentation! I have so much to learn. Everything made so much sense to me when you connected all the dots. 💡💡! 😅💚🤓!

Thank you for your inspiration, encouragement and sharing your stream of conscious thoughts! I love it all :)
