This page may load very slowly because of so many pictures...it'll be worth the wait.
Since 2003, I've propagated all my own plants and collected my own heirloom flower seeds from plants that I grow. For 7 years, I was a vendor at 12 different local farmers' markets.
In 2011, I welcomed friends to visit me at my nursery & gardens on Saturday mornings and will do the same this year in addition to teaching free monthly gardening workshops. I do not have a commercial nursery that is open to the public; rather, I have a backyard nursery at my private residence.
Nursery is closed for the season and will re-open Spring 2012.

My little Garden Girl sits at the entrance. Her Bible verse reads,
"And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought...and thou shalt be like a watered garden..."
Isaiah 58:11
