What's in bloom?

Japanese Kerria.  Awesome flourescent green stems with a puffy yellow bloom.  Impressive showing.  

Plant of the Week

The spectacular showing of white blossoms on Bridalwreath Spirea.  Flowers only last a couple weeks but it's practically everywhere right now.

Japanese Maple Keys

Who wouldn't want these decorative red Japanese Maple samaras as a focal point in their garden?

6" Railroad Tie Raised Garden Bed

It was a project that i needed to accomplish.  Like a fire waiting to be released.  It required more materials than i thought it would and it cost more than i expected it to.  It'll only get easier from here.   Pics to follow...

I never thought it possible to experience pure bliss from pruning an extremely old plant until today.

Indoor Plant Arrangement

This is a quick and easy way to add a finishing touch to a room.  A bundle of Black Pussy Willow in a tall vase.  Guaranteed to stay beautiful for at least a month provided you change the water weekly.  When the cuttings start to root, plant them outside in your garden.  A plant will start to establish by the fall season.
