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. She says they have to deal with deer and she is knowlegeable about plants they don't like. In addition to all that, they also do beekeeping I need some of their energy! They are locate...
A beautiful time of year in your garden. Love your kitty's pretty blue eyes!
ReplyDeleteSad and pretty both at once.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I'm already looking forward to spring!
ReplyDeletePhillip you are getting to be a really good photographer! I began picking the pictures I liked best but gave up when I lost count. The old bench is my favorite though I think. More for the content than the colors or structure. It tells a story. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful cat. If it's female I bet Leo would fall in love. That is not saying much. He falls in love with every female he sees. He's awful. I think your cat is male judging by the color. Hopefully he doesn't roam. It would be tempting for people to entice him away.
A lovely synopsis of fall. Cute kitty picture. She/he looks a little unhappy.
ReplyDeleteThat cat just showed up and isn't actually ours. Michael and I have feel in love with him though - isn't he beautiful? My neighbor said that it showed up at their house and they have been feeding it. She says it is a boy.
ReplyDeleteYes Phillip, he is really beautiful! He reminds me of a kitten I had once. I named her JuneCarter because she reminded me of the singer. JuneCarter turned out to be a boy. He was a terrible cat. Stupid. Had no idea which side of the bread the butter was on.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lynx point siamese, have you had it checked with a microchip scanner? I hope he has a family who is missing him... very handsome boy.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, your garden is utterly stunning as usual. Every time I come to your site and you post a wall of photos like this, I'm wowed.
Beautiful and peaceful. Always good to leave in such a lovely way.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, Your photographs really capture the mood of the garden in fall - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. However, its also sad knowing winter is near even though winter is beautiful in its own way. Good job.

ReplyDeleteYour garden definitely celebrates the season in style...and what a cute kitty!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your photos so much! Larry
ReplyDeleteThe maples really go out in force. What a show of color. For me as well, the bench composition is a favorite. I hope it can withstand many more winters. It is nice to have a knowledgeable follower on your blog who could identify the breed of the cat. I just thought its'a gorgeous kitty, and if I were a cat, I wouldn't want to leave your garden either...
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the cat with that bowl is my favorite - his eyes match the blue-turquoise of the glaze so well!
ReplyDeleteFrom Oklahoma, I'm waving a fond farewell to all your foliage, flowers and kitty too. It won't be long until bulbs poke their heads out of the soil, and everything begins again. Why, then, does it feel so sad?~~Dee
