Rebecca’s Garden

Wall3From the bleakness of a January day in here in Maryland, I sure enjoy visiting Rebecca’s garden in Tucson, Arizona, which looks like this right now.  The combination of the muted tones of the Catalina Mountains in the distance and the bold primary colors of the plants in bloom really packs a wallop.  And because Rebecca’s a very artistic person, she knew to pull her townhouse backyard together by installing a long curving raised garden across the back and painting it this fabulous color.

Here’s Rebecca looking unconscionably fit and dishy.  She’s another really cool person who also just happens to love gardening, which to me seemRebecca_1s so natural, I’m frequently surprised when people don’t.

I’ll be emailing her to tell her I’ve posted here about her garden, and maybe she’ll send us a comment telling us what’s happening there now or what new developments she has in store for her garden.  Hinting.

Love it! It takes guts to use colour like that – and instinct. I don’t know if I would have either! But obviously the pay off is phenomenal.
