This garden was my personal favorite at Northwest Flower & Garden show. It’s a hobbit house!!! It even has a living roof.

I’m hanging out at the Northwest Flower & Garden show and thought I’d share some of my favorites from each of my favorite gardens. I’ll start with the 2013 Founder’s Cup winner: The Lost Gardener – A Journey from the Wild to the Cultivated.
What did I like best about this garden by RHR Horticulture? The unique plants!
Everyone needs a skull rock, right?

I’ve been anxiously waiting for the start of the Northwest Flower and Garden Show (NWFGS) since the first day of winter. For me, this is the beginning of the gardening season. It gets me out of my winter slump and inspires me to spend time outside in my jungle. Read more

I’m heading back to the Northwest Flower & Garden Show in a couple of hours – it’ll be my last visit. This makes me sad but I’m exhausted. Before I go, I thought I’d pass along some of my garden show favorites from the display gardens. These are the features in the gardens that spoke to me most.
First, a little video of the water drums. How cool would it be to have these in your garden? Read more

I’m experimenting with my new Ollo iPhone lens – I just picked it up yesterday at the Apple Store. For fun, I took a picture of each display garden using the fisheye lens. If you want to see more…the show runs until Sunday!
Let me know what you think of the shots.
First here’s the lens:
FREE-RANGE CHICKEN GARDENS. I have the pleasure of being included in Jessi Bloom's beautiful book (pages 27, 51 upper left, 112, 114-117). Check it out!
THE NEW LOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN. This book by Val Easton is one of my favorite design books.
WICKED PLANTS: Great read about poisonous plants by Amy Stewart.
THE VEGETABLE GARDENER'S BIBLE. My favorite vegetable garden reference book by Edward C. Smith.
GROW. COOK. EAT. by Willi Galloway is a beautiful vegetable garden cookbook. Great recipes and tips on eating ALL parts of the veggie - not just the mainstream parts.
