I'm already taking appointments for May and June container planting - the two busiest months of the year. This is a huge help to me as I can schedule my time efficiently in order to take care of your projects with minimal delay.  As a thank you I am once again offering you my 

Early Bird Special. 

Book this month to have your containers replanted during May or June and you'll receive $15 off! Call or email me now to book.

While I was in England I had an exciting email from

Danielle Sherry, associate editor at Fine Gardening magazine. She invited me to write a full feature article on 'Small Trees for Shady Places' - both a treat and an honor. These larger articles are planned well over a year in advance so I don't know the issue number for that one yet.

However, I will  have a Great Plant Picks article in the next (April/May) issue where I selected one of my all time favorite must-have plants. I'm not telling you more than that BUT one of you will recognize YOUR garden! How much fun is that? Actually the images I sent were taken by the highly talented Ashley DeLatour of One Thousand Words Photography, who has been working with me for about a year now.

As if that wasn't enough fun I will also be in the following (July/August) issue, having written the Regional Plant Picks for the Northwest.
