Native Root Designs: May 2011
http://nativerootdesigns.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sustainable garden management, design and exploration. Monday, May 23, 2011. Good intentions make good neighbors? I love my job. I am consistently reminded of how lucky I am. There is not much that I like more than making people happy. To inspire others into laughter and gratefulness, so they can live to their fullest and spread the power of kindness throughout their lives. This neighbor had been very upset at the hedge removal and the resulting view. When we had finished the small project of moving ...

Native Root Designs: Plant abuse
http://nativerootdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/04/plant-abuse.html
Sustainable garden management, design and exploration. Thursday, April 14, 2011. It's true; I ran over a whole row of Primroses, Hellebores, and Iris's with my Garbage can! I confess. It really wasn't the first time. Yes the Primrose and the Hellebore are in full bloom but they are almost finished. Back to my plant massacre. I kill plants a lot. Who is it that said if you love someone set them free (aside from one of my ex-girlfriends:)? Gregory Smaus, CPH. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Native Root Designs: September 2009
http://nativerootdesigns.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sustainable garden management, design and exploration. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. We harvested loads of Tomatoes and I definitely have a favorite this year; Pruden's Purple. It had six larger than fist sized perfect Tomatoes on it the other day that made the sweetest large bowl of Salsa! With darkness at six am it's nice that most of the garden is holding it's own, resting at it's peak before it comes crashing down in the fall. All we have to do is enjoy the views and share the harvest.

Native Root Designs: January 2011
http://nativerootdesigns.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sustainable garden management, design and exploration. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. The bones of the garden. Winter in the Pacific Northwest leaves the garden revealed. I have heard from more than one gardener this year that now is their favorite time in the garden. You can really see what is there and admire the structure and layout. Gregory Smaus, CPH. A time for shears. The Epimedium and Helleborus will be sending up their flowers next, before leaves, which look fabulous if the old foliage is cleaned up.

Native Root Designs: February 2011

Sustainable garden management, design and exploration. Thursday, February 24, 2011. Planting trees- watching for the crown. In this photo I am planting a Cornus mas (Cornellion Cherry) and I needed to excavate about six inches into the top of the root ball. The little roots that have started on the trunk will never be substantial so I went down until the trunk began to expand. Gregory Smaus, CPH. Monday, February 14, 2011. I would like to be a jazz gardener. Gardening is a pink activity. So we finally st...

Sustainable garden management, design and exploration. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Allowing for maturity, whatever that may be! I had more or less been open enough to allow her the choice and not get stuck on her past routines so that she could casually say, "I just walked with my Daddy.". Gregory Smaus, CPH. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Gregory Smaus, CPH. What images come to mind when you think of spring? That said, I wish that I may continue to capture these moments by using the seasons and their coinciding...
