June 02, 2008 Aside from the painted-wall eye candy, the Summer 2008 Wildflower magazine also has an interesting article about Lotusland in Montecito, California. I’d never heard of this fantastical garden until Chuck visited Lotusland and posted about it. Now it’s on my must-see-gardens list. According to landscape architect Gary ...

Or maybe a leaf-green wall, which would contrast with the purple pads of the cactus, especially in winter when its color is strongest. I’ve just read the Summer 2008 issue of Wildflower, the magazine ...

February 11, 2008 Flipping open to the middle of my first issue of Horticulture—a gift from my mother (thanks, Mom!)—I sucked in a deep breath in pure admiration of the garden featured in the article “Photo Finish” (Dec/Jan 08).
