⁣
Can you spy the Geranium ‘Rozanne’ in this bit of my latest design? ⁣
⁣
I love to represent the colors and patterns of plants as accurately as possible. ⁣
⁣
If you’re a visual person or not, it helps me convey what’s in my head to your head.⁣
⁣
More to come on this one soon!⁣

Bonus points if you also spy the tiny miner bee ⁣in the IRL geranium!

⁣
This garden really is Small with it All! So many details in a tight space. We finished the front last week and are ready to plant in back tomorrow.⁣
⁣
When you live on an urban lot, get really clear about what’s most important to you. You can have everything, but not necessarily all at once. It takes smart planning, compromises, and a lot of work. Seek human / nature balance. Let your garden be as much for you as it is for the more-than-human beings, especially if your yard is small! 💚🐝🦋🌸

⁣
The star of this hellstrip planting is an Oregon White Oak.⁣
⁣
Why are we planting a tree near an existing great big tree, you wonder? ⁣
⁣
The big guy is an Oregon Ash, biggest I’ve seen around town, and it’s days are sadly numbered.⁣
⁣
With Emerald Ash Borer’s arrival in Oregon, one of the best strategies we can employ is to preemptively plant new, resilient trees now. ⁣
⁣
I chose Oregon White Oak (𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘢) because it’s disease free, resilient to a warming climate, and a keystone species feeding a wide range of insects and birds. ⁣
⁣
Thanks to Hannah and Claire, our friends from @maidenhair_landscapes for planting with me today. You two keep the job site joyful! ⁣

⁣
Thanks to my awesome team for all the work they’ve done to get ready for plants!⁣
⁣
And thanks to @armitagenursery and Nursery Net for the great plants!⁣
⁣
It’s an honor to collaborate on the creation of gardens. I feel so lucky to show up on plant delivery day to such a well-crafted scene.⁣
⁣
While the front garden, hellstrip, and sanctuary get planted, the backyard gets its finishing prep. A buried layer of gravel required the excavation expertise of our old friend Andrew. I love that he came wearing his vintage Whole Gardens shirt and hat!⁣
⁣
It was a good day.⁣

⁣
I wanted to linger here and watch the bees with Julie for hours.⁣
⁣
But, it was just the briefest visit,⁣
⁣
with echoes of delight resonating throughout the rest of the busy day.⁣
⁣
This is the medicine your garden can give you.⁣
⁣
Julie’s Garden of Nature’s Delights was installed just last summer and is already full of life.⁣
⁣
I hope you’re weekend is equally lovely 😊 ⁣
