The Ruth Bancroft Garden & Nursery

 

Green Wall on 14th Street

Rough year, pandemic, massive warehouse fire that engulfed the entire block but left the facade with a green, now burnt wall.  Photograph on the day the sun didn’t come out due to very thick smoke from the wildfires in California.

Hollywood Junipers Cubed

  44th Avenue in the Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco.  Usually done in spheres or clouds, this one is floating squares.  I love the Hollywood Juniper.

Salesforce Transit Park

Newly planted roof top of the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco.   We’re 40 feet off the Street floating among the skyline.

Dozens of Tiny Birds

 I’m testing adding YouTube videos to my blog.  

The first one is 30 tiny birds gleaning my shrubs of insects.

Chelsea Flower Show

 This years show is my third visit to the Chelsea Flower Show.  A rock star event if you love plants and gardens.  There is so much here but it falls into a few categories.   Garden design by top design firms, Plant introductions and identification, other show gardens and then the commercial aspect, with vendors of all things garden.  In many cases, it's difficult to see the commercial sponsors, but they are there ready to do business.  

For me this year, it was more about the visitors and their interactions with the installations.  You will see a lot more people in this years photos.  With emphasis on floral dresses and shirts.
