One Earth Botanical

It is always exciting to discover a new nursery, especially when so many are closing these days. A friend recently introduced me to One Earth Botanical.  They are located at 24001 NE 28th Street in Camas, Washington and are open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10-3. This is a family-owned nursery specializing in perennials, shrubs and trees. I was impressed by their inventory and saw some plants that I didn't know existed, such as the red-blooming Cestrum called "Ruby Clusters" pictured at the top. Their prices are also awesome (most of the perennials I saw were $7 with larger sized pots around $12 - $15.)  Stephanie gave us a tour of their 8-acre property which includes large display gardens, areas for weddings and other events and an in-the-works yurt which will be opened as a B&B.

Hidden Hills Garden blog


I'd like to introduce you to a new Alabama garden blog called "Hidden Hills Garden". Peggy Hill, who lives on Smith Lake, is a writer for Alabama Gardener and Smith Lake Living magazines. On her blog she describes herself as "a full time, garden obsessed, crazy gardener" and I was pleased when I read that when she watches tv, she is more interested in what is going on in the landscape than with the characters. I thought I was the only crazy person who did this! I had the pleasure of meeting Peggy last week when she and her garden group came to visit my garden. She has a post about their visit and she will be writing about Maria Wall's garden on her next entry. I hope you will take a look at her blog, I think you will enjoy it!

    I just popped over to read her post about your garden. I loved seeing someone else's view of your garden. I have been reading your blog for a long time and she showed me things I have never seen. What fun. Don't you think it is fun to see what catches the eye of the beholder? It makes one look at their own garden in a new way.

    funny you should say that about watching tv. I'll often try to figure out where something is filmed just by looking at the plant material. I guess we have issues. lol.

    I tried to leave them a message, but got a message I had to log on and it kept saying my wordpress id was valid (also did it on yours). Nice blog.

    I thought I was the only one who has HGTV #1 on favorites list. My Japanese iris have started blooming. Several blooming for the first time. Daylilies are popping open everywhere. Mary
