I've been reading the blog Photographing New Zealand for years. I love seeing images from the other side of the world, and from this blog in particular because Betty has a great photographing style.
I quite literally laughed out loud when I saw this photo on her blog recently; "400 VOLTS of DANGER LIVES HERE"... it sounds like something Andrew (my husband) would say when explaining my gardening proclivities to a stranger.
I asked Betty for permission to use this photo and she kindly agreed. I'm sharing it today because after the wild long (4-day) Hortlandia / garden touring weekend, a simple post was in order. I can't wait to share all the craziness we got up to!
The Bit at the End On April 15th I'll be giving an online talk for the Northwest Horticultural Society called; danger garden, contained—expanding the garden with containers.
The talk will be all about my container collection (yes I counted, you won't believe how many I have) and how I use them in the garden. Since it's online you can register (here) to watch live, no matter where in the world you are (or watch later on the recorded link). It would be lovely to "see" you there! Of course I won't really be able to see you, an unfortunate reality of Zoom talks... but if you log in to the live version you can ask questions, which is almost as good as being together in person!

Thank you for sharing Betty and I really can't wait to hear about Hortlandia shenanigans. I'm off to register now. *I haven't counted countainers, but will do before 4/15.
ReplyDeleteIt was an insane four days, wish you could have been part of the group!
DeleteUnfortunately, I can't attend but I hope you'll share excerpts of your presentation at some point. My typing is still pitiful but I can read.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see you commenting again! - Chavli
DeleteKris!!! So good to see your name pop up in the comments. I hope you are feeling stronger every day.
DeleteSlow progress but headed in the right direction.
DeleteLooking forward to hearing all about your weekend! Shockingly, I skipped Hortlandia. I need to contain my collecting a bit this year.
ReplyDeleteHow very responsible of you!
DeleteOh, but I will believe the number of containers you have... I've witnessed their bi-annual migration for years! I'm sure it would be a fascinating presentation. I hope there will be an "in-person" version at some point.

Hmmm... perhaps once everything is out for the summer vacation I'll slip in a container count post.
Delete400 V of Danger - yes! And it must be cool to have a garden name or nickname, that's found randomly everywhere and in different languages.
ReplyDeleteIt is! (although it was never meant to refer to my garden, just the blog)
