Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Springing over to Savage Plants

Savage Plants is another nursery that I try not to miss when I'm out in the area of Heronswood.  Here's a peek:

In addition to a lot of plants arriving for spring, Savage always has a generous supply of cool garden art.



This solitary giant rusty sphere in the center of the covered patio always elicits a giggle. 






Hey look, an agave!


What a fun gate!





 Striking poppy seed head bronze  candlesticks.

These look so cool and have no drain holes.  Water feature?  Bog garden?

Not exactly sure what these are.


This fellow, made by an area artist and admired last year finally decided to come home with me.  You may remember him from an earlier IaVoM post.

It's Holy week in the Christian tradition, seven days that begin with  Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday) the last supper, crucifixion, and resurrection.  Whew, that's one busy week.  If you celebrate this week,  may it be a reflective, joyful, and meaningful time for you. 

Passover, the commemoration of God's deliverance of the Children of Israel from slavery in Egypt, begins tonight at sunset.  For those of you celebrating Passover, חג פסח שמח.

  1. The outdoor area looks a little bare (of plants), is that normal? A reflection of the season?

  2. Marty keeps telling me he wants to learn to weld, but I know things would just get even crazier around here. Big spaces like this nursery are required to act as a showcase. Happy Easter, Peter!

  3. They always have the most interesting metal art. I love that purple bench, although it doesn't really look comfortable. Hoppy Easter!

  5. So what did you end up naming your little friend? He does look a bit like the BFG or Dobby. ;)

  6. This place looks like lots of fun. Some unique stuff. I hope the Easter bunny brings you a new ornament or plant and he doesn't eat your plants. ;)

  9. I wouldn't buy the rusty sphere, but I actually would buy this blue or purple bench. It's so graceful.

  11. Yes, I like the art at that place. The gate is awesome. I'm trying to add more "earthy" art pieces to the garden--pieces that I can take with me if/when we finally move (one of these years). Seasons' blessings to you and yours!
