About
I garden in coastal Massachusetts, zone 6b. I’ve learned most of my gardening skills from my father who is still gardening in his 80s and continues to put my garden to shame. I get inspiration from Penelope Hobhouse’s garden design books, you should check them out if you are not familiar with her. And most of my favorite plant pairings happen by accident.

Wonderful gardening, design, and website. I envy many of the plants you are able to use that will not tolerate life in Montgomery, Alabama. Then I can’t complain, we have some wonderful, just different, plants. Thanks for all your hard work for people everywhere to enjoy.
