A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – July 16, 2018 – Marietta O’Byrne on Underplanting

Summary: <p> </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">When I talk about intermingling several plants to serve as a mixed groundcover, perhaps under trees and shrubs, I often refer to the idea as “making mosaics.” No surprise, therefore, that a new book called “A Tapestry Garden” caught my attention. I talked to its co-author, Marietta O’Byrne, about ideas for weaving plants together artfully. <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4763" src="https://i0.wp.com/robinhoodradioondemand.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/A1j4qYMWIQL.jpg?resize=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1" alt="" width="214" height="300"></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Longtime nursery owners and hellebore breeders Marietta and Ernie O’Byrne co-created “A Tapestry Garden: The Art of Weaving Plants in Place.” Their property, Northwest Garden Nursery in Eugene, Oregon, includes their extensive and inspiring tapestry-filled gardens. We discussed how to knit plants together — what qualities to look for (and avoid) in pleasing partnerships.</p> <p><a href="http://www.robinhoodradio.com/donate.html"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4060" src="https://i1.wp.com/robinhoodradioondemand.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/make-a-donation.jpg?resize=244%2C36&amp;ssl=1" alt="" width="244" height="36"></a></p>
