Until then, let’s enjoy this with this gorgeous spread from . This was such a fun find during my last visit to California - who else goes nuts over a well-merchandised display, especially when it’s plant-themed? I’m a total sucker for good marketing; this made me want to buy the whole table!

Well, it happened. I’ve finally succumb to the flu. I give myself credit for holding out longer than expected, though - through house guests, a cross-country vacation and even Russian hackers! 🤦🏼‍♀️

But Monday is done and now it’s time to get some much-needed rest. So have a super-old snap of some nursery, somewhere, that looks as good to me now as I imagine it ever did, and take a moment to be thankful for the health of you and yours and your plants. 🙂

Okay, so it’s not a revelation that one can find some solid at botanical gardens. But as a public garden professional, I’m still always excited to see what other institutions are doing.

Here, Mike Gibson, Curator at the Huntsville Botanical Garden, has some of his personal photographs on display during their Art in the Garden event, and I couldn’t help but take a few pictures to remind me that an exhibit doesn’t have to be exotic to be profound. @ Huntsville Botanical Garden

Happy everyone! Here’s a shot of some plant material procured and installed by my coworker and fellow plant fiend at The Oregon Garden last March. There’s bletilla, there’s tricyrtis, there’s ferns - can you guess what kind of garden was being created? 🌱
