Social media can be many things… for me it is a window to share what is possible!

I invite you to try adding some flowers to your mixed greens. Not only will they add a bit of unexpected flavor, but they will beautify your salad! Bon Appetit and happy gardening if you decide to try your hand at growing edible flowers!

Posh Cottage Under New Management
Now that Posh Cottage is under new management (aka me), I will continue to improve on all that it has to offer, and fine tune my costumer service. This positive disposition in managing our vacation rental has indeed paid off in that I have now achieved the status of Super Host on our Airbnb platform!

Update on the Floral Design Studio
As will all things at Palisade Posh, there is so much to do to make this overall vision a reality. So stay tuned for more updates!
Planting Peonies
Peonies are one of my favorite spring flowers, they are fragrant and their large blousy blooms are truly a showstopper!
Experimenting with Eucalyptus
Both the Silver Dollar and Silver Plate Eucalyptus are considered tender perennials and can grow in zones 9-11. As Palisade, Colorado is a zone 7, this experiment could very easily crash and burn. That said, I’m still going to give it a go.

Rethinking the Floral Design Studio
The devil is in the details after all… I’m really excited to see how this will all turn out. Eventually this will be the creative hub of Palisade Posh, where gardening, floral design and yes, the creation of art all come together in one central location! It will be amazing, and pretty and I can’t wait!
Coq Au Vin Blanc Meatballs
This delightful recipe comes from the cookbook by Tieghan Gerard called Half Baked Harvest Every Day.
Building a Bird Habitat
As with most things I create, I applied the principles of art and design when building this habitat which is why it feels sculptural in appearance and reminds me of an Andy Goldsworthy installation piece!
