About This Blog

The main purpose of this blog is to provide information about gardening in Seattle.  In addition to garden advice, you will find plant lists & garden designs, information on garden color & garden themes, & articles about my Seattle garden, the Cascadia Garden.  This information is also useful to people who garden on the northwest coast, west of the Cascade Mountains, in British Columbia, Washington & Oregon, where growing conditions are similar.  The plants mentioned here can be grown in moister parts of USDA Zone 8 & in parts of northern Europe, most notably Britain & Ireland.  Many of these plants will grow in colder & drier climates.  Here are articles about Seattle parks, others about public gardens & natural areas in the Pacific Northwest & beyond.  Some of these places will be of interest to tourists visiting Seattle.
