Spring has sprung!

Flower garden in West Berkeley.  This is my home garden.  I planted it with my five year old daughter, Flora, in mind.  Like her, it is playful and colorful.  She spends much of her outdoor time harvesting flowers, using the petals as 'pixie dust'.  She grazes on the borage, nasturtium, blueberries, fruit trees, and more. This year we grew zinnias, sunflowers, and cosmos from seed to create a butterfly garden.

For the birds and the bee, borage and abutilon.
