Thank you so much to everyone who came out for the West End Garden Tour. If nothing else, you at least saved my friends hours of “conversation” where I talk at them about my garden – and they smile and nod absently…
I was amazed that so many people came out, even during the pouring rain! I had a constant stream of people from the very beginning to the very end, and really got a feeling for the types of projects that I’m working on that people are interested in. I will be blogging about those soon-to-come.
This year the garden tour was a double-edged sword for me because while I did get to show my own garden off, I was unable to see the other incredible gardens on the tour. So, if you have a garden in the neighborhood and happen to see a hippie wading through your perennial bed in her running clothes, please just take it as a compliment of the highest order.

At some point this summer I’ll be dragging you all over my garden to tell you about it, anyways, so I’ll get my revenge
