I went bonkers this weekend, tearing out and redesigning an area of my garden. I'll suffer for it with aches and pains, I know, but it's so exciting to see the garden grow and change. I'll look forward to seeing what you're up to on the Red Studio site.

Had a total gardener crush on him when I first started gardening - he was SO nice and attentive and generous w/ his time and info whenever I'd visit his nursery. He has an allee of pomegranates that was a total revelation to me, underplanted with phormiums and beautiful small scale grasses. <br />He is what a plant guru should be!
