Hi, I just joined the garden guides thanks to my good garden friend Andrea. I just got a 6 X 8ft greenhouse and am ready to start seeds. Any advice please let me know. Going to the PNW Garden Show in February can't wait. I live in Corvallis Or the gardening here is wonderful. I love the tropical look am getting addicted to bananas, honey bush, hisbicus etc. Can't wait to see everyone's garden pictures. |

WoooHoo, my sweet friend is here! Just so you all know, Chris is an amazing gardener. We met years ago when our oldest girls played soccer together. The first day I dropped her daughter off from soccer I was entralled with her garden and noticed a beautiful astilibe, I promply asked her daughter "does your mom share her plants?". That started a beautiful friendship, we have traveled all over for plants, nurseries and the PNW garden show. Welcome Chris!!!! Chris is also a master gardener and has an amazing family-great great gal! Check out their family artwork-huge mosaic, absolutely stunning. I believe I am sounding biased, but I know you will all love Chris as much I do ~Andrea |

And she does really cool mosaics! I love the one on the house foundation--great idea! Welcome to GG, Chris! I'm up here outside of Portland waiting for the big freeze tonight. My bulbs have started to poke out of the ground so I hope they'll survive. Got any questions, please ask--there are plenty of people here willing to help! |

Hello Chris & a big welcome to GG from the shores of Lake Greenwood. Those are stunning pics of your mosaic art, beautiful work. I am going to take a basic mosaic class at Lander University late March thru early April. I thought that it would help the winter blues & expand on tiling creativity. All the crafts that I do have been self taught & research. I like to create my own designs whether it's woodworking, sewing, making wreaths & other things from the nature that I have preserved, or tiling. I tiled my daughter's fireplace & the entry of the front door to the carpet. My first huge project but it turned out really well. Of course, my yard & garden are my first passions. When it's warm enough to work in the yard, that's where I'll be from sun up to sun down. I guess that only another gardener could relate to that passion of yard work. Keep those hands dirty & minds creative, gimlet from the shores of Lake Greenwood |

Hi, it was 22 here last night in Corvallis,Brrr. But the sunshine was so nice yesterday and it looks like it is going to be a great day today also. What are your favorite nurseries in the Portland area? I have only been in Corvallis a little over 3 years and am still finding neat nurseries. Let me know. Your pictures of your flower garden is beautiful. Chris |
