Catchy huh? This is the title of a presentation I’ll be giving at this week’s Yard Garden & Patio Show in Portland, Oregon. (I do love me a road trip!)
I’ve lived in cities all my life and my gardens have always been “modest”, i.e. - small, if not teeny tiny. Sure I complain about wanting more space for fruit trees, a hedge of raspberries and oh yeah – a flowering meadow. But the truth is, any bigger and my garden would probably be the end of me. Besides, some of my most creative thinking comes from confronting limits, shortages, and constraints. And I’ve learned a lot along the way.
Join me as I share:
3 big rules (& 4 small ones) for Designing Small Gardens with Large Impact
The Yard, Garden & Patio Show was founded in 1988 by the Oregon Association of Nurseries Inc. as a way for the OAN to highlight the good work of its retail and landscape members. Open to the general public, the show is a venue to check out what’s new, what’s hip, and what’s hot in the bright, beautiful world of plants. What better way to welcome spring.
Exciting display gardens, over 250 educational and commercial exhibits, and a full weekend of seminars provide inspiration and the opportunity to learn new skills and techniques from gardening experts (like your truly!) I’ll be speaking Friday, 2/12 at noon (room B 113).
The show runs February 12 through the 14th at the Oregon State Convention Center in downtown Portland. For ticket information and a complete run down on all things happening horticulturally check out the YGP website here.
Hope to see you in Portland!
