2025 in pics. We started the year with bug snugs, followed by bulbs and cactus. We planted a Yellowhorn (Xanothocerus) but it died and now it’s an incredible hummer perch. Over 175 people arrived for the Wash Park neighborhood garden crawl. Penstomen palmeri with a heady scent. Kevin @timetamelt and I received a huge award from the Garden Club of America. Oh and the Agave bloomed. Mack the hummer is actually Macy and she came back. And then Autumn. All brought to you by the epic partnership of @timetamelt , me, and an amazing group of volunteers. Thanks for loving and supporting this garden.

Beautiful day to film a movie in the garden. What an amazing way to end the season. What can 2026 possibly bring to top this year?
