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.

Seed Savers

Smellin' the jasmine
Me. Smellin’ the jasmine that finally started to bloom on my fence. I guess I shouldn’t say, finally – since it’s been through hell. Last year my landlord decided it was time to paint the fence, thus ripping it off said fence and while that was going on my dogs [...]

Flower Clock
My pencil was extra sharp (Shout out to Matt Leddy! my old landscape architect professor that would always say No Fuzzy Lines!!!!)) today while I was finalizing the latest drawing I’ve been working on for a new client. This design has gone remarkably smooth, most likely a combination of an [...]
