A Walk Through the Garden
From persimmons to viburnums, trowels to trugs — our favorite plants, tools and projects
Express Yourself
Let your creativity blossom, along with your plants.
Garden Sanctuary
It’s not all about weeding. Make space for just resting and sensing. If you don’t have a garden or nature spot and are indoors, escape into the photo galleries — we’re happy to share with you!
The Fruits of Your Labors
Make the most of your harvest! Besides recipes and preserving, we’ll explore uses for non-food items from your garden!
Upcycling
Home and garden uses for fabric scraps, old clothes, wool carpets, tree prunings; and get inspired about upcycling old furniture!
We’re Not Alone
Humans aren’t the only creatures in the garden! From cultivating butterfly habitat to protecting your veggies and trees from gophers. Or, just observing the flight of hummingbirds and swallows, and the archetypal call of the red-tail hawk.
