Over The Fence Landscape Tours Brings Fresh Eyes And New Views

It was a delight to host Donna from the YouTube channel Over the Fence Landscape Tours ‪in my Portland, Oregon garden. It's always fun to see my garden through another person's eyes and this is the first time that I've seen it from above, thanks to her amazing drone footage. She's got a great channel, so after you check out this video tour of my garden, make sure to browse her library for other gems.

I'm a wimp when it comes to hands-on garden chores in the heat. For me, hot times call for hunkering down and waiting it out. When the temps drop, I emerge. And then, 'tis the season for looking around and poking about. To assess, evaluate, and plan my what-nexts. 

The post I link to below encapsulates my thinking about how I manage the ongoing evolution of our little garden. Because I wrote it last season, you might notice some differences in the garden photos and examples cited, but the overall message remains the same.

The backbone of the eGardenGo website is its searchable database of plant combination ideas. There are multiple ways to use the tool. 

• Browse the plant database, find one that meets your criteria, then click through to get plant combination ideas that include it. If you can't find the particular plant you're looking for, search for something similar. For more tips on how to choose the best subs, read this blog post.

• Use the searchable directory of plant combinations to find one that is a match for your growing conditions and aesthetic desires. Then click through to learn about the individual plants included in the combination.
