Holly's Pacific Northwest Garden: February 2015

Dedication and Purpose

This blog is dedicated to Doreen Eaton. She has been my friend, inspiration and mentor. She is an English gardener and her comment when she first laid eyes on my property was, "It's nice but it's so... GREEN." Many of the nicer parts of my yard are designed or inspired by her. She has chosen some of the more interesting plants.

My goal as I work in my garden is not only to enjoy being outdoors and relax and breathe fresh air, but also to create a space that is useful as a playspace for my children, a habitat for local wildlife, and a visual feast to behold. I hope someday to also have a productive vegetable garden and fruit orchard.

Spring is Springing!

With respect to the good citizens of Massachusetts who have been hammered this winter with snowstorm after snowstorm, and my good friends in drought-stricken Southern California, I would like to present Spring in the Pacific Northwest this Valentine's weekend:
