Scourge of the gophers
Shore Acres in Oregon is pretty impressive - right on the coast - as are the Mendocino Botanical Garden and the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden (the latter especially in late April).
If you could garden anywhere, where would it be?
Back in the Valley of Hearts’ Delights (aka Silicon Valley), where anything will grow with minimal effort. Before they pulled out the apricot orchards.
What would you most like to change about your own garden?
I’d like more overall design, structures and paved/pebbled paths.
Favorite nursery, garden center, or mail-order catalog?
Miller Farms for local and for mail-order, besides my husband’s (AmityHeritageRoses.com). I’ve bought seeds from Bountiful Gardens in Willits and plants from Big Dipper Farm in Washington.
Biggest gardening mistake or regret?
