Free-flowing flower garden oasis - The Register-Guard

Scattered strategically throughout the space is garden art that Robertson has gathered over many years. Many of the pieces, such as a rusty wheelbarrow and spray-painted metal statues, are upcycled finds. Robertson has a simple philosophy when it comes to picking plants: “I want one of each,” she says with a laugh. There’s also a certain live-and-let-live component to her organically maintained sanctuary. “A lot of these things have placed themselves, and as long as they don’t annoy me, they’re fine,” she says of the multiple groundcovers.All of this means her garden is far from the perfectly manicured plots often seen on garden tours. But the way Robertson embraces the free-flowing and ever-changing landscape is in line with the BRING Home and Garden Tour’s focus on wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that encourages people to find beauty in imperfection and impermanence. Nourishing compost BRING has long been an advocate for reuse and recycling, and “rot” (composting) is also important for maintaining a healthy planet — not to mention a healthy garden.To ensure they have plenty of high-quality compost, Robertson and husband Bud Jones have a pair of 4-foot by 8-foot worm bins they built from recycled decking. The bins are primarily Jones’ responsibility. “Linda wanted me to go out and help her (in the garden), but I am not a gardener,” he says. “Everything in the ground looks like a weed to me.” Making the compost has become his way of contributing.Sustainable living includes sharing plant starts and bulbs with others, Robertson believes.“I think it’s important for the peop... http://registerguard.com/rg/life/homeandgarden/35902084-72/free-flowing-flower-garden-oasis.html.csp
