I have wanted to start a ‘Garden Club’ here locally for more than a decade. I had the great opportunity of providing staff support to the Sandy Garden Club many years ago when I was fresh out of college and working as a City employee in Community Development. My positive experiences with that Club sparked a Continue…

Over the last year an a half I’ve been privileged to be involved with the design and implementation of Salt Lake County’s newest community garden, Mt. Olympus Community Gardens in Holladay.

Whew! The last week was a whirlwind! I actually LOVE the Home & Garden Show. I’m an extrovert so talking to hundreds of people about plants etc. is a lot of fun for me! This is the first year in the last five that I am not designing privately and thus was not trolling for Continue…

Otherwise known as a ‘Plant’ation Privacy Screen. Like many of you, I saw the original idea for this project in Sunset Magazine, though I am sure the designer who created it was not the first to do this, she certainly did it up beautiful!

The 1st annual Gala Fundraiser event was held on Saturday night for Conservation Garden Park and it seems to have been quite a successful event. I am rather relieved it’s over as I participated in several capacities and I’m plum wore out! Through my ‘regular gig’, I helped plan and manage the event. Through my Continue…
