You don’t have to restrict yourself to drawing plants in your garden journal - Jeanette has created some beautiful pages from her garden inventory.
“Discouraged by the destructive freezes and constant rain, I was inspired by the written inventory of “Garden Gear at Holkham, 1761″ in Laura Stoddart’s book, “The Sweet Life”. I decided to make a visual inventory of the garden gear at Longears. Here is installment number 1. Let’s hope that the Head Gardener at Longears doesn’t get so busy inventorying that she neglects to actually garden!”
“It was alarmingly hard to choose my favorite trowel; the Trake has long held that distinction, but the trowel I bought at my favorite nursery this spring is really a big improvement on trowels!”
