Happy Friday GPODers!
I hope the first couple days of 2025 have treated you well. To get the year started on the right foot, we’re back in Nancy Heckler’s garden to see more of the tour Cherry Ong was treated to last fall. Nancy’s garden in Indianola, Washington is a wonderful collection of colorful and lush plantings woven together with an artful eye. If you’ve missed the first two parts in this series, you should absolutely go back and check those out (Part 1 and Part 2).
Today we will be entering a new garden room known as Nancy’s Hideaway @nancy.heckler. The paths are narrow but filled with all kinds of treasures so be sure to look left, right, above and below. One of these is a fern table. I’ve been inspired by them after watching Richie Steffen’s videos (Check out a full, in-depth video from the Hardy Fern Foundation, here) and plan to make one for my own garden someday.
Again Brocc welcoming you to our virtual tour.
As Cherry so perfectly describes above, the paths that lead to Nancy’s Hideaway are teeming with fascinating details. You can tell everything is added to Nancy’s garden with attention and meaning, not just her plants. From the stack of drift wood on the left, to antique watering can and bright red water pump.
Thank you again for sharing more of your visit to Nancy’s garden with us, Cherry! It’s been such an exciting garden to explore, and I’m sad that we only have one more submission in this series.
