Plants are finally starting to show some life here in Portland. Just got these cheerful hostas to brighten up my shade garden.
This winter I have been fortunate enough to visit several tropical gardens for design inspiration, please check back soon for more photos from my travels.
When planning a garden it is always important to add plants with winter interest. Here is a picture I took of a beautiful winter king hawthorn in Bend, Oregon. Trees or shrubs that produce winter berries make a great addition to any garden.
