Hello, from the Dirty Girl…DGG is a horticulture collective that includes writings on gardening, useful products from our brand and others, links and resources to outstanding companies and organizations, and a compelling compendium of Jenn's thoughts, ideas, interests and concerns regarding the environment. Oh! And sometimes deliberate sexual content and swearing, wrapped up in a pretty flower picture. Thanks for reading & commenting on my garden blog!  |
the latest at the farm
the last bit of yesterday was finished off at the farm, doing some general clean-up and a bit of planting. the guys weed whacked and planted clusters of jade in the succulent mother garden – i poked around taking pictures and organizing the accumulating detritus that the wind brings in [...]

My friend Wikipedia says, “OCD is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety, or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions”. I say that is a run [...]

Chateau Bawk Bawk
I designed a vertical garden for a client’s freshly built and devastatingly boring fence in HMB a couple weeks ago. It went from a mundane expansion of fence – to a blanket of lush textures and colors, planted in a way that makes it look like the fence is dripping [...]

Zombie Plants
“That plant died.” “No. It didn’t. You fucking murdered it.” I love when someone tells me that a plant has died. Died. “It died”. Plants don’t just die. They don’t have depression, anxiety attacks or the overwhelming need for Zoloft. They are not melodramatic, write goodbye letters and commit suicides. [...]

fall equinox… talk dirty to me.
Today is the Fall Equinox (9/23/2011), an Equinox occurs twice a year when the Earth’s axis is tilted neither away nor towards the Sun. In garden terms (given there are no natural disasters where you live), your garden looks good. Probably a bit tired from the Summer’s bloom, but still [...]

KE’s job has been pretty much a dream. Great client, great property, and all the plants are happy! This has been the weirdest year of weather, and not every project I’ve worked on have grown in as much as they normally do by this time of year. I guess the [...]

Succulent Gardens
I visited Robin’s nursery about 2 weeks ago… soon after found out I had strep throat. Strep is not conducive to creative posting, so I held off. Albeit a bit late, here are some pics and info from my adventure: We left early for Succulent Gardens, located in Moss Landing… [...]

Alena Jean Nursery & Flower Shop
I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to post about Alena’s shop! Other than being friends with her forev’s, Alena’s shop is one of my weekly addictions: Cracked out from green tea at the sushi lounge – check. Veggies & fruit (and those crazy good malt balls) from [...]
