It begins! ⁣
⁣
Cutting sod in August, especially when it’s been allowed to dry out, is the best time for the job. ⁣
⁣
Good timing, 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 clients and my favorite design yet! ⁣
⁣
Bye-bye lawn. Hello Open Air Living Room Garden! ⁣

All it needed was less than an hour of weeding!⁣
⁣
We planted the Tenacious Rainbow Garden last March and everything is HAPPY!⁣
⁣
Here’s the thing about establishing a new garden: you 𝗱𝗼 have to weed it! And you 𝗱𝗼 need to know what’s a weed and what’s not.⁣
⁣
I see too many new perennial plantings inundated with weeds and then the whole thing gets scrapped. It’s a shame. ⁣
⁣
Know maintenance.⁣
⁣
Side note: if you’re into gardening and you want to make it your profession, there is so much need for your skills. You get to work outside, make your own schedule, make beauty, and charge a healthy rate to live on. Message me to talk more! I’d love to help you navigate starting your own gig.⁣

⁣
If I were a brown-belted bumblebee, I too would drink deep from each and every blossom. I would love wild bergamot with my whole face.⁣

⁠
"The eighteenth-century vision of a distant nature has lost its strength. In its stead, a sense of kinship and curiosity about living things is growing, and there are attempts to represent this more inclusive vision in the lawn and garden, for this is still where daily contact with other living things takes place." ⁠
⁠
This quote from "Redesigning the American Lawn" resonates throughout the Layered Habitat Garden design. Even the lawn will become a diverse mix of flowering plants supporting life and wonder.⁠
⁠
Huge thanks to @ptlawnseed for composing alternative seed mixes to create lawns filled with life. Check them out - they have the best options for PNW habitat gardeners. We'll be using their "fleur de lawn" mix here for the family and their puppy to play on, to live on, to immerse themselves with "daily contact with other living things."⁠

Here’s to a day of rest and to the joy of zoning out on beautiful lilies.

It feels like winning Olympic gold to collaborate with Rob @rob_hoffman_stoneworks!⁠
⁠
The Inner Garden highlights his craftsmanship with a new wall, stairs, patio and walkways all of natural stone.⁠
⁠
Rob's been a friend for years. Aaron and I know his work to be the best in the country - check out his page! It was so fun to get his input throughout the design process. I trust him completely to build a work of art. ⁠
⁠
I've been thinking about relationships a lot lately - the relationships we have with other professionals and with our clients; the relationship homeowners have to their gardens; the relationships of plants, insects, and birds to each other. The teamwork is where magic happens. When there's trust it IS gold!⁠
⁠
I'm feeling grateful for the opportunity to create with such an awesome team! ⁠
