Trees Giveaway

We. Are. MOVING!!! After 21 years, 9 months, 11 days* in the same location, Purdyville is relocating twenty minutes further out to the middle of nowhere. We are just about doubling our floor space, with 167% more bedrooms and 250% more bathrooms. Total acreage will be less than we currently have, but, trust me, there is still plenty of space to garden in!

While I’ve got your attention, I’d like to mention that Timber Press is giving away a copy of Seeing Trees, one of their newly released titles, plus an original print from the book. All you have to do to enter is submit your email address at the link in the previous sentence. I had a chance to look through this book at the Seattle Fling, and it is drop-dead gorgeous. If you love trees, or if you love good photography, you will love this book. The giveaway ends on September 9th, so hurry on over there. And while you’re there, check

All the best to you and yours at your new house and garden. Sometimes we wonder about starting all over again with our gardens, what we might do differently than the first time. You have that opportunity to leave the plants behind that didn’t earn their real estate, and use your acreage as a palette for the garden of your future. Although moving is never easy, having a new place and terra firma gives one an outlet for creativity and putting down new roots. xo Julia & Eric from Michigan
