Essays on Gardening in a Cold Climate by Brian BixleyAs a result of reading my book review, Deborah of Garden Theatre wound up visiting Brian Bixley and touring his garden. Since her visit was in early spring, her photographs clearly illustrate the underlying design of Lilactree Farm. If you have been enjoying Brian’s occasional pieces here, you will want to go over to Garden Theatre and take the tour.

Kathy thank you for including my post about Brians garden on your web site. He is a wonderful person, with a very interesting garden that deserves to be more widely seen. Hopefully, I will be able to get back one day soon.
