Vaccinium corymbosum We all know what blueberries are and perhaps we have a fond memory attached to them - a large bush in the neighbors garden where when we were young we could hide and eat to our delight, hours of picking with friends or relatives collecting luscious fruit...

Sequoia sempervirens This plant inspires me. My favorite part of the purple coneflower is the vibrant and bright brilliant orange-spiked center. This beautiful display is the seed head that first attracts hummingbirds, butterflies and honey bees, later followed by finches in the late autumn when the seeds mature.

Lavandula angustifolia 'Tuscan' TM Lavender is a Mediterranean plant, this one specifically coming from a small village farm outside of Lucca in the region of Tuscany. As with all lavender, they thrive in full sun with good drainage for optimal growth.

Sequoia sempervirens We all have images in our heads when we hear about coast redwoods or ‘the redwoods’ of California. I often think of a car driving through a tree trunk, a thick matt of needles under towering giants, or a deep quiet forest.
