I bought this plant at a yard sale for way too much-- It was more of a rescue,lol. This is the only surving cutting and it bloomed a few days ago! 4/10/04

Gardening!
I just gotta garden!
If it were not for the pleasure of the experience and beauty of the garden, I would have to do it for the plants themselves. I use them in so many things that I make:
candles, paper, cards and soaps.
My laundry room often doubles as a nursery for some of my more cold sensitive plants.

I buy birdfeeders, houses, planters, etc. at yard sales. This is a huge, dented  galvanised  conatiner I found for a dollar! A new one sells for over fifty and this one alreadyhad good holes for drainage. I bought a hanging basket and repotted it in this container so that it was both beautiful and had room to grow.
Earlier in the season, these old galvanised pails were filled with birdseed. Later, I couldn't resist planting them with nasturtiums.

My greenhouse becomes a place to dry flowers, future pulp for papers and, of course, paper! It all starts and ends here. I love that.
I think of my greenhouse as an extension of my studio. As I expand into fiber and paper arts, it is more true than ever.
