Back on the Northwest Perennial Alliance open garden trail on a sunny day at the beginning of June I visited the garden of Wendy Lagozzino.

The ceiling of this entire bottom floor is bedecked with dried flowers. It's difficult to tell from the pictures how large an expanse this is.

I imagine that Wendy also comes home from walks with pockets full of interesting rocks, cones, seed pods, etc.

"Welcome to the garden of a 117-year-old Queen Anne home."
From the parking strips in front of the house, I could tell that this was the garden of a fellow plant addict.
Even the top of the garage was covered with plants.
Wendy told me the name of this cool plant but I forgot. Do you know it?
The bumble bees were certainly enjoying it.
Look, that's Tropaeolum speciosum climbing through the shrubbery.
Rhododendron sporting tillandsias.
Carpenteria californica
"I transformed a muddy path into a stroll over mosaics and ground covers, planted in a recycled plastic grid."
What a great way to use Abutilon megapotamicum.

Back outside to explore more of the garden.
Love this collage of found pieces. Wouldn't it be fun to make one?

All too soon it was time to walk back out to the car.
Thanks, Wendy, for opening your garden and basement for us all to enjoy!
