I am constantly thinking about this combination. T I am constantly thinking about this combination. Time to give it some serious action!
End of the 2023 Season! It was a great year, altho End of the 2023 Season! It was a great year, although you might not know it because in an effort to create some space in my life I've removed some things- one of them being the marketing and presenting I do on social media. Sometimes you just need to do what you got into this business to do in the first place- that is be outside, and make the world a more beautiful and ecologically better place. It doesn't mean taking tons of before and after pictures so I can get it up on Instagram for some exposure and a few likes. I've been doing this work for 22 years. But I also wear a lot of other hats. And so do these great people on my crew. The great part about a seasonal job is the break in which we can all exercise all the other parts of ourselves that get neglected in the crazy 8 months that we make hay. Enjoy your Winter everyone. See you in 2024!

Here are my three teenagers who have worked for us Here are my three teenagers who have worked for us all Summer. Lilley D, Lilly V, and Rhi. They've been great! Hard working and positive and eager to learn. Two worked full time and one 3 days a week. That's a big commitment for a teenager. We've got one other teen, Nathaniel, who is not pictured here. I guess he couldn't fit on the steps at lunch time. He's terrific as well.

And just in case this garden isn't fun enough with And just in case this garden isn't fun enough with giant trolls....how about play houses with living roofs, fairy- building houses, gardens based on popular children's books (Including Blueberries For Sal), and a garden tool archway into a garden with allium growing on the roof. The few kids that were there today in the rain were completely emmersed and engaged with the landscape. I had just as much fun watching their enthusiasm as I did looking at the gardens.

Water and Stone. I'd say they played just as signi Water and Stone. I'd say they played just as significant a role in the design of this place as the plants. Water was never hidden. If moved through the landscape. It was visible across paths- no underground pipes. Stepping stones were placed through the water features so you could be IN the water feature. Interpretive signs talked a lot about rain fall, capturing it with soil and plants, filtering it, and moving it through the landscape, and into to Back River, which leads to the sea. Granite is everywhere. Granite is used for everything, benches, walkways, waterfalls, curbing, sculptures, accents. In the Vayo Meditation Garden, the all different Granite types from all over the State are used and labeled. The walkway that I always interpreted as the currents of a river, were meant to look like DNA strands, representing the genetic diversity and similarity of all the elements of the garden.
At the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens I made a st At the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens I made a study of different ways to introduce us to the gardens. Whether it's archways, or pruned shrubs, or interesting stone walkways and patios, the maizes, meandering paths. It was seldom obvious where a path would lead, and so I was constantly surprised. I double backed many times to try different paths, and was so glad when I did. If I had not been alone, and had there not been so few people, I know I wouldn't have had the freedom to just go w the "flow" of the garden.
I spent a rainy, Tuesday morning exploring at the I spent a rainy, Tuesday morning exploring at the Coastal Botanical Garden of Maine. Normally they have about 4000 visitors a day, but I saw very few people today and was able to take a lot of pictures without any interference. And I was able to quietly linger in gardens, study and stare, and feel like I just had this beautiful place to myself. A big attraction has been the trolls. They are so fun and creative, I can see why. But I was really there to see the Vayo meditation Garden, everything else was just icing.
