We hosted two wonderful fall container planting workshops in our garden. The weather was perfect for sipping hot cider while we worked and you designed some five star combinations! Click here to see photos
My online garden design course GORGEOUS GARDEN DESIGN - Foliage & Focal Points went live early September and already has over 200 enthusiastic gardeners signed up. Check out the reviews! This is such good value too. For significantly less than the cost of a one hour consultation with me, you can buy this seven part class and have it forever.
I've saved the best news for last; I have just signed a contract with Timber Press to write my next book! The title hasn't been finalized yet but it is the perfect sequel to Fine Foliage only bigger and even better.
We are aiming for a September 2016 release and as with Fine Foliage, I will be co-writing with Christina Salwitz.
