    Why You Need to Buy Slow Flowers this Mother’s Day

    Seattle author and gardener Debra Prinzing knows flowers. In addition to writing books on gardening, Prinzing started the “slow flowers” movement. It encourages people to buy locally grown flowers rather than imported ones from faraway countries. Foreign growers often spray dangerous chemicals on their crops and employ low-wage workers in…

    The 5 Best Gardening Books by English Experts

    When I peruse my bookshelf, I often gravitate toward the same old cluster of gardening books. They’re by the most prominent British horticulturalists of the 19th and 20th centuries. The designers who built the most spectacular estates in England. They experimented with the concepts of outdoor rooms, mixed borders, and…

    When You Take the Stairs, You Find a More Painful but Rewarding Path

    Recently I found an older book with some lasting ideas. Rory Vaden’s Take the Stairs offers great inspiration for those looking to stop procrastinating in all areas of their life. The one aspect though most people won’t want to hear is succeeding in life takes self-discipline. Vaden says you can’t…

    The Undomestic Goddess Dialed into my Stressful Pandemic Life

    Sophie Kinsella’s novel, The Undomestic Goddess, starts off with the question, “Would you consider yourself stressed?” I smiled when I saw that. It was a question the main character Samantha reads on an intake form before her massage appointment. And it so resonated with me considering this stressful pandemic life…

    Leaf Your Troubles Behind Just Got an Amazing Cover!

    During 2020, I was kinda jealous of all the folks I saw on social media producing artistic projects and launching at-home start-up companies. I didn’t have a “pandemic project” as it were and felt so lame. Then in October a close editor friend of mine asked if I wanted to…

    A Book of Super Advice is Super Attractor

    Make no mistake. Self-help writer Gabrielle Bernstein’s latest book, Super Attractor, is definitely woo-woo. It offers mantras, it’s got the word “Universe,” all over it, it references the famous channeler Abraham. If you’re the kind of reader who makes fun of touchy-feely, pseudo-psychological books, then this book is not for…

Here's a lovely, well-chosen border I saw recently in #Bellingham, WA: irises, spiraea, barberry, and kalmia. Have a sunny day, all!
Exercise is always good for you but exercising in nature supercharges your mood and body.
Gratitude is not only the key to happiness, it may be the key to peaceful interaction as well.
I’m sharing my pride and joy (and backbreaker) with the public today. Please send sunshine my way, thank you. #gardening
