Welcome to my Garden Blog

Nature: wild & untouched. Photographing it, preserving it, taking walks and drinking in the landscapes as they unfold.

Gardens: touched by loving hands. Cultivated, nurtured. Drinking in those landscapes is wonderful, as well.

In my garden one enjoys some of both. Generally unpruned & wild, my plants reshape the garden as they grow.

Beyond the garden borders, natives from the Santa Monica Mtns await. Oak trees with their shady canopies. Cactus & Sage in the sun.

Always there are animal creatures to join in the fun.

I look forward to sharing some of my experiences with you as they unfold.

My Garden Peacock

Move over, Garden Gnome, my big blue friend here is the new whimsical garden mascot!   Bodhi, the Peacock, presides over my Topanga Canyon garden of natives. He has to approve all garden plantings.

Intensely curious, he has to know what I'm doing at all times.  Whether I'm working with the vegetables, creating succulent containers or spreading wildflower seeds, Bodhi will make an appearance and give me the thumbs up or down. 

What better way to add a splash of color to your garden!
