This won’t be the first or last time I post about the benefits and beauty of great foliage pairings that can provide a strong foundation in any garden. It’s all about balancing harmony and contrast.

Saturday, Oct 25 - Landscape Design Demystified at Seaside Gardens

Are you interested in picking up a few garden design tips to take home and put to use in your own landscape? Then join me at Seaside Gardens in Carpinteria this coming Saturday, Oct 25 for a walking, learning, spring tour of ELEVEN themed gardens. I’ll be your tour guide, sharing my 50+ years of landscape design practice and over 30 years as educator to demystify the science and art of garden design.

The FREE tour starts at 10AM and we’ll be strolling the grounds for an hour or so. And rumor has it there'll be the 'Easy Thai Street Food' truck after the tour!

15% DISCOUNT ON EVERYTHING during this Fall Sale (Sunday, too)

Wear a hat, slap on some sunscreen and bring something to write on … you’ll have a LOT of fun and learn something, too.
