Welcome to Garden Inspiration
Creative Gardener...inspiring gardeners to create
A creative gardener sees not only
the plants...the soil...the sun...the rain,
but
celebrates the garden for all of it's uses.
A taste of herb tea, a bouquet of flowers on the table, captured
fragrance in a bowl of rose petals. Anything that inspires creativity
from and in the garden. The fine art & craft of waiting for the
peak time of day to pick herbs for dinner, a passionate quest to find
that perfect perennial for the cutting garden ,making a fragrant
gift for a friend and so much more.
In these pages you will find inspirations for the creative gardener in
all of us, how-to’s to make it happen, notes from classes and seminars
as well as many new discoveries along the way
for the creative gardener in you...

Join me in supporting the Peninsula Adult Basic Education Program at Tacoma Community College, Gig Harbor Campus.
Artists and community members paint Adirondack chairs and donate them to be given away at the Gig Harbor Garden Tour. What a lovely way to sit in the garden! This the chair I painted for the 2009 tour titled "saffron baroque", a bit of European flair of saffron yellow with a deep Mediterranean blue baroque pattern. There are 9 other original works of art ....check them out and buy a ticket to support the program....www.gigharborgardentour.com
