  • Whew - So glad to be back in my groove after that roller coaster ride!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I told many of you that my current courses would be shutting down for sales today. But given the total lack of focus I had during last week's days of delusion, timelines have shifted.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On Friday, I'm shutting down both of my courses for a complete upgrade that will be released Jan. 2021 (or sooner). Garden Design Boot Camp is being retired and replaced with a new class (tentatively called The Gorgeous Garden System).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The new class will include everything in Garden Design Boot Camp and ALL of Planting Design Boot Camp, plus lots of new content (updated videos, new worksheets, expanded lessons in a variety of garden design tricks and tips, all new garden style templates, drawing tutorials, plant pairings, and how to select materials, art and other styling elements for your garden. Additionally, there are new lessons about color, soil, styling, building and sourcing products, & more).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And, for those who want to design online, you will find a new parallel series of lessons for digital drawing, design & garden maintenance. It's a huge upgrade.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're an existing student of both my classes, you'll automatically get the upgrade. But if you have only take one of my classes and not the other, you'll only get a few of the new lessons.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This Friday (11/13) is your last chance to enroll in either or both of my current courses at the current prices. You can upgrade for $269 to the full system, or buy both courses for $469. After they re-open with the new content, the upgrade will be $350+ and the combo will be $650+ and most importantly neither will include the lifetime access to coaching calls and the Q&A forum that is currently included. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So if you want your lifetime access for the best price it will ever be again, you have until Friday @ midnight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Q's? LMK ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gardendesign #garden

  • I love the smell of freshly mown grass, but this season I discovered that there is a garden smell that I love even more... and that's fresh mown grass combined with fresh cut mint. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some mint started overgrowing one of my beds and when I mowed, I kept it in check by letting it get caught up with the cut grass. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And that combined scent was just heaven. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved it so much, it got me thinking about trying to add mint throughout my lawn. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm honing in on two options - apple mint (mentha suaveolens) or penny royal (Mentha pulegium). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Does anyone have any insight on these two varieties? My research says they are both mow-able... and I'd assume that neither are evergreen (not ideal, but I am ok with it). In a lawn, I want it do what mint does (i.e. get aggressive and spready and thick). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If I can get mint established, I feel like I can transform my mowing experience into a beautiful aromatherapy spa-like experience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So - what do you know about these two varieties of mint... or is there an even better variety of mint that can be easily incorporated into a lawn? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks for any tips!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ image by Sujith Devanagari ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mint #mentha #lawn #lawncare #garden #gardening #plants #jardin #mygarden #plant #instagarden #garten #gardens #botanical #gardenlife #horticulture #instagardenlovers #trädgård #gardenista

  • It's the last of the season... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The cold is expected tonight... and if not then, tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm gathering the last of my houseplants and bringing them in from their summer vacations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tomato season appears to be officially over (my breakfast toms were just not as good as they used to be a month ago)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it is time to say good bye to the dahlias and hostas and other pretty leafy things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think I might need to go for a drive around my town this morning and take it all in one last time... its going to be very different in a couple days... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s also my oldest child's 18th birthday... which is bittersweet. I guess I'm officially the parent of an adult now? Ugh, I kinda still want to be the mom of a little girl. Kind of... but not really. This stage it great too. I'm feeling a pretty moody day ahead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the bright side... I am still putting some last-of-the-season sale plants into the ground and mulching them in. And the fall colors are still really lovely... It all makes me feel like I need to go make an apple pie or something.... or wait... a birthday cake... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #garden #gardening #flower #flowers #gardenlife #gardendesign #seasons #flowerstagram #gardens #blooms #flowerslovers #flowersofInstagram #flores #flor #flowerpower #gardenstyle #floweroftheday #instablooms #instaflowers #fleur #fleurs #flora #jardim #tuin #jardin #trädgård #tuinen #ogrgod #dahlia #autumn
