Spring is around the corner. I saw a forsythia in full bloom today, and the pieris buds are starting to turn showy. My bulbs are 2-3" out of the ground, and my hellebores are in full bloom. After the winter we've had, these fresh groundlings are more than a welcome sight. Spring is inevitably a time of new beginnings, fresh colors...change happening before your eyes. This year more than ever, these March floral displays and the promise of more to come have a greater weight of hope. Nature is still somewhat immune to humankind and our deficits, stimulus, and credit crunches.
NW Garden Design & Consulting, however, is not. Luckily, I have been able to join an awesome team of horticulturalists at a large retail nursery co-op called Garden World (http://www.gardenworldonline.com/) south of Wilsonville, OR. With 'support your local grower' as its creed, Garden World is 10 acres of great plants and competitive pricing. I am the office gal and customer service forefront. I have been there 2 weeks and really love it. The inventory is expanding every week, and the website has up-to-the-minute inventory with wonderful pictures and descriptions.
I am still offering design services while on this hiatus of financial duty, but on a much more limited basis. Yet I am quite content in my new position and feel it is a great next step for me right now. So check it out, and I hope to see you soon! By the way, there is hope in every flower's face and every opening bud of spring. Look for it!
