Mike's Glen Park Showcase

Frank has put together another tour of San Francisco gardens. This one is exclusive to professional gardeners, horticulturists, arborists and the likes.

Finally cocktails, I mean the last garden, mine. This is my Glen Park garden on Chenery. I've been working this garden for almost 9 years now. All these photos were taken by Dino. Much appreciation to see my work through another's lense. Thank you Dino!



Orlaya grandiflora 'Minoan Lace'


Nemophila menziesii 'Penny Black' with Atriplex hortensis var rubra



Papaver commutatum 'Lady Bird' - Are these name after Lady Bird Johnson. Wife to LBJ and Texas wildflower savior.





Very tall, over 7 feet Thalictrum 'Elin' from Digging Dog Nursery in Mendocino.

One of Dino's least favorite plants, Salvia leucantha. It is invaluable in this thick heavy clay. It is tough enough to thrive. I divided each clump to 20% every year. That way it blooms non-stop from April through December. Although this is the most common of plants most let it get congested and it stops looking good. Excited about Salvia leucantha 'Velour', a cultivar I got from Flora Grubb Gardens. The blooms are white with a pale pink center as it ages. Very excite to work with this unusual variety of this most mundane plant.






The white digitalis with calla lilies was inspired from a planting at the Eden Project in Devon, UK.
