As a former "Fling" planner I speak with experience when I say that both planning a Fling AND opening your own garden to the group during the event is pure madness. Only a crazy person would sign up for such a thing...

Naturally that meant Tammy, lead planner for the 2017 Capital Region Fling, did just that last June. She's a Wonder Woman.

If you follow Tammy's blog, Casa Mariposa, you already know her garden is all about the pollinators.

From our Fling materials: "Tammy’s garden is a study in improvisation and imperfection that has been dogscaped to meet the needs of her canine crew. Her cottage style garden is completely organic and packed with native plants and ornamentals that attract and support wildlife. All annuals that attract pollinators are grown from seed during the winter. The garden features a 67 foot river bed dug by hand that ends in a rain garden designed to prevent runoff from entering the storm drain and flowing to the Chesapeake. "

The river bed (or is this the rain garden portion?) was a thing of wonder and beauty.

And even though she swore we were seeing her garden "as is..no time to primp!" it was photo-shoot ready.
