We need people to get the gardening bug like they do in the PNW.

Nor Heronswood Nursery when it was in possession by it's original owner. They were even bigger and better than Joy Creek, which is saying something. Northwest Garden nursery in Eugene is not as large as any of these nurseries, but is very like them, if you ever get a chance to visit.suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876157448125007929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-2358329870272862192014-08-19T20:41:08.202-07:002014-08-19T20:41:08.202-07:00You got wonderful photos, even the ones that had p...You got wonderful photos, even the ones that had people in them. ;^)Hoover Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083294821646284424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-46259105000309277662014-08-19T19:01:32.664-07:002014-08-19T19:01:32.664-07:00Yes indeed, we have very little like this here in ...Yes indeed, we have very little like this here in Norcal Gerhard..though the plant line-up is different , the closest I can think of is Digging Dog, one of my favorite gardens here.
