TRUCKEE TAHOE GARDENS

Most people, even veteran gardeners from lower altitudes might think gardening is impossible to control in a climate that some have commented is ‘ridiculous’!  However, as you will see below, there are many who have mastered the planting and resulting beautification of high altitude gardening ~ mainly thru trial and error and mostly by being forgiving of those plant species that refuse to grow here…chemicals are out of the question if you have a cognizant attitude.  All one needs to do is spot those birds and rabbits, deer and other living beings (neighbors) to know that if something requires chemicals to prosper, it probably should not be growing here.

Columbine are exceptionally beautiful flowers as well as a personal favorite

of mine.   Their graceful flowers nearly always have backward projecting nectar spurs

with contrasting petal and sepal colors. Solitary flowers borne atop

narrow, leafless stalks lend an airy feel to any stand of columbine. And most importantly ~ it always seems there should be a ‘tahoe~truckee’ fairy/gnome sitting atop the petals.

Thank You ~ and please come and enjoy our beauty and call me, 530 412 3984.
