⁣
Welcome home!⁣
⁣
The Embracing Entry Garden design completely eliminates the straight path to the front door in favor of the natural flow of flagstone.⁣

Let the best things carry into the new year.⁣
⁣
Only the best.⁣
⁣
Like great clients and like Morpholio trace. Theses are things I’m grateful to continue with.⁣
⁣
We’re returning soon to Ami and Jeff’s Open Air Living Room Garden. This time to transform the east side. ⁣
⁣
We made the hard but smart decision to remove two big rhodies that I’d originally kept in the design.⁣ They just didn’t make the cut—not among “the best things”.
⁣
This meant the chance to include more fresh new plants in the space! Yay!⁣
⁣
Morpholio trace made it easy to layer on top of the original hand drawn design with my own stencils. Super easy to share, too!⁣
⁣
What are you carrying with you into 2022?⁣

⁣
So rare the snow in our PNW valley home, it has me feeling antsy. There’s nothing to do in the ground of the garden today. ⁣
⁣
I refreshed the hummingbird feeder with extra sugary nectar. My ruby-faced friends are surprisingly the only birds I see out in the cold, buzzing their wings under snow-smashed silverberry.⁣
⁣
And all the evergreen shrubs got a good shaking. Camellias and bamboos, mahonia and daphne, all free of the weight that breaks a green bough. ⁣
⁣
Now I listen to the silence, the exhale, the pause before the new year.⁣

⁣
when I describe the limbs as 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳, do you see it? ⁣
the oak, ⁣
the Oregon White Oak, ⁣
standing solitary in its golden savanna?⁣
or if I say 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘣, ⁣
do you know you’re on lean land ⁣
and the oak grows to fit? ⁣
⁣
a tree that makes its home⁣
from Southern California ⁣
to Vancouver Island, ⁣
from rawboned high-ground ⁣
to saturated lowlands, ⁣
must be a master of adaptability.⁣
⁣
Read the rest of December’s plant of the month poem. Link in bio☝️.⁣
⁣
Then go kiss your lover under mistletoe tangled branches to celebrate Wister Solstice 💫⁣
