I'm ending this Tuesday evening inspired and motivated by one of my design and horticultural heros @pietoudolf. Piet, I hope to see you again in Detroit! (at The Rattlesnake)

And on the second day we arm ourselves with wise words to build communities that are more beautiful, sustainable, and just.

When you plant your Opuntia and you forgot about the Colchicum. Hi there!

Late night working in Rhino. 😐 Can I go back to this morning when I put this lovely little surprise together? Congrats Susie and Jeff! I've never met you, but if you've got friends like @olivialmay @amanzalot and @rifferaff, then you must be rad.

Morning still-life for some friends.

Dahlia 'Ginger Willo' is stealing the spotlight right now. It's always a prolific bloomer, 8' tall, puts out tubers the size of russet potatoes, and one of the first to emerge in spring. Loving it.

A little bit of scrap chicken wire makes some quick and easy compote arrangements. Juniper, viburnum, dahlia, Dino kale, and smokebush are just the best together. #theforagingflorist #compote #fallflowers #snre #sustainablesystems

Working on some arrangements for SNRE's Center for Sustainable System's 25th Anniversary dinner. Lots of texture in these babies!

Jungle flower cutting by truck headlights. Those weeds sure got big fast. Ma and Joel for scale. #thelunchroomacres #theforagingflorist

Enjoying this fine September day, made even better by this Andropogon gerardi in full bloom. #wildtype #nativeplants #structuralgrasses

The hanging planters (moss themed this year) needed some major TLC. Reinstalling with magical staghorn ferns and lots of natural accoutrements. See them at @thelunchrooma2 tomorrow. (at The Lunch Room)
