During "COVID Summer 2020" I was contacted by author Brian D Coleman, who was working on a book chronicling private gardens of the Pacific Northwest, he was interested in including my garden. These type of books typically focus on estate gardens, I was sure he had the wrong idea about my garden and tried to convince him he didn't need to bother. Still, he stopped by, along with photographer William Wright, for a scouting visit. That visit ended up turning into a photo shoot (yikes... garden not ready!) and while they were here Brian floated the idea of a story in Old House Journal. Long story short here we are, the June 2021 issue...![]()
...includes a story on the use of salvage materials in my garden—or as I call it Upcycle and Plant. This is a strange bit of my past and current lives colliding. When I was the Sales and Marketing Director for a vintage lighting company in Spokane, Washington, I used to regularly place ads in the OHJ. Now they're featuring a story Brian wrote about containers in my garden, with William's photos.

And my book! How sweet is that? They did a nice little block all about Fearless Gardening. Pretty cool! The magazine is on newsstands now, if you're curious.
