Descriptions of the 2011 Bainbridge in Bloom featured gardens are on the website and there is an enticing line up this year. Plenty of waterfront, rural farm, superior plantsmanship and all around fabulous design – the elements that make Bainbridge gardens special.
Do be sure to check out the Bloom site and don’t miss the tour this year. Garden pictures to be added soon…

Thank you to everyone who came to our garden during the Garden Conservancy Open yesterday. I met some wonderful and interesting people and appreciated the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the garden.

June is here! Well, at least the calendar says so. Ho hum – warmer weather has been promised for next weekend so I’ll invest my hope in that. June is not only the time for more sun than rain, this year it is also the month for the Garden Conservancy Open Days on Bainbridge Island. I am very excited to be a part of the program this year, and to help support the Conservancy’s mission of preserving worthy gardens that may otherwise be lost. As we gardeners know – gardens are ephemeral and once the dutiful and loving hand of the gardener is no longer there, they can disappear.
I was fortunate to have my garden featured on the poster and post card, however my garden is just one of 6 fabulous gardens that are featured. I look forward to welcoming visitors to our garden. This will be the last year of holding the garden open for a bit..at least that is the plan now.
June 26th 10am – 4pm…for more information, see www.gardenconservancy.org/opendays/events.pl?ID=352&SortBy== Hope to see you here!

I just got an email officially announcing the Garden Conservancy 2010 Open Days Program www.gardenconservancy.org/opendays/index.pl. This year my garden will be a part of the program, and will be open all day June 26th along with several other Bainbridge Island gardens. I am looking forward to opening my garden again – I love to have visitors and to chat about everything plants with them.
So mark your calendar and if you are in the area, come over to the island and make a day of it. There are a few great cafes in town to enjoy, like Cafe Nola (www.cafenola.com) not to mention must see nurseries (Bainbridge Gardens, Bay Hay and Feed and Mesogeo). I hope to see you here.
