Today, December 31 2008, I was surfing the web looking for information on Eco-fuels.
I came across a web site with a link.
That web site had a link.
I was happily linking and clicking the day away when I came to a blog called Garden Bliss.
I have read this blog before but I have to admit, I’m not a regular follower, though I should be, because this blog has a TON of great educational and entertainment content and the photography is terrific !
Any ways, back to the link of a link, to a link.
On a link , I came to a photo hosting site that had photographs of the 2008 San Francisco Garden Show . The photos taken were by Angela Pratt of the blog Garden Bliss.
This past year I installed a garden at the 2008 S.F. garden show . Unfortunately I did not get a chance to take many photographs of the show or of my own exhibit. I figured I would depend on the appointed “Show Photographer” .
The professional show photographer did a fine job but I have to admit that the photographs that Angela Pratt took were really quite wonderful and struck a distinct cord with me.
So with permission I would like to post a few photographs that Angela Pratt took of my garden at the 2008 San Francisco Garden Show

Michelle, you sure got talent - I'd be happy to call that garden my own! And I'm a fan of Angela, too. Happy New Year to both you! S
Great garden but also interesting comparison of the photographers. Just found you by your comments on Gardening Gone Wild. Is there a brand name for the bamboo tags you mentioned?
And I love the name and description of your blog!
Happy New year to you too Susan !
Ms. Wis.,
The bamboo tags that I use as plant name tags were found in Japan Town in San Francisco.
I believe that their intended use is for culinary skewers.
They are pretty wide though, at least a 1/2 inch wide and are 12 in length.
I LOVE going into Japan town as well as China Town in the City.
I find the most interesting things there !
My favorite places are Soko Hardware, Genji and the Dollar Store of Japan Town ( Kansa is the actual name I believe ) - I find coolest things in there !
Last time I was there I came home with some bamboo flower vases for $ 1 , bamboo stir fry paddles for $ 1. Super fun and CROWDED place to visit !
Thank you, Michelle, for appreciating... well... my eye, I suppose. We all seem to have pretty decent cameras these days.
When I go out shooting with friends, I love seeing how differently we frame things and what catches our eye.
Your garden vignette was my favorite from the show. From the moment I walked in, I felt tranquility. That's no easy feat at such a crowded show. It'll be interesting to see what the Garden Show experience feels like in its new digs.
I would love to create a place in my garden for doing yoga, but tend to work on my backyard in a hodgepodge, budget-oriented (i.e. sans designer) fashion. Any chance you have a book in the works?
And Susan, thanks for being a fan! The garden blogging world would be quite bleak without you and Garden Rant.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
