Emira: Vancouver, Canada

Bio: Emira would happily spend countless hours in her garden, but tends to spend most of her time in front of the computer as partner in the Vancouver website design firm Raised Eyebrow. In the sunmmer of 2005 she became a home (and garden) owner, and so far rescuing and unearthing neglected plants is by far her favorite renovation project. While she is certainly a sucker for a nursery or a great seed catalogue, she prefers plants that have stories or people attached to them, and loves sharing cuttings and transplants with gardening pals. She never ventures into the dirt without her gardening clogs or her feline companion.

Hide and Seek

Over the past few weeks, while I've been only half paying attention, my backyard flowerbeds have been totally taken over by bluebells. At first I was fairly pleased to see them full up with lovely green lush growth; however, slowly (but definitely surely) they have become totally overtaken

Reminder to Self: Plant more bulbs!

purple.jpgI've just finished putting my Spring planting bulbs from Botanus in the ground (mostly hostas and some peonies) and the ones planted last fall are at now really hitting their stride. When I made my choices last Fall I picked most of

Plant Me!

I'm a pretty big fan of Branch the currently online/soon to also be a physical store in San Francisco that bills itself as a purveyor of Sustainable Design for Living. They have a pretty great gardening section that seems to be a combo of novelty grow-in-one containers and
