GARDEN DESIGN AND GLASS ART:
Last weekend at Lake Hodges, CA there was a glass blowing demonstration at the “Glass Ranch” studio owned by Garry Cohen and Cherrie La Porte. The Cohen’s glass studio is adjacent to their home and I was able to meander around their property to photograph their garden scape. At each turn I found different forms of glass art weaved around the walking paths, tucked in-between the plants and hanging from trees.
Glass Mulch
This photo boasts a succulents with glass mulch surrounding it. There are some areas in my own yard with shells and moon-stones mixed together, but the Cohen’s glass mulch creates a completely different effect, with a larger variety of shapes and multicolored specs in each individual piece. I placed an order for the sold-out mulch at $1.50 per pound and although I am on a waiting list, it will be worth the wait. It was a great day for discovering blown-glass art and viewing new ways to implement glass in garden design and landscaping.

One of my last blogs Step into Zen was about painting your own stepping stones. Here are some photos of other stepping stones we painted… these ones are in my garden. Prop them next to a fence or planter for an artistic flair, or sink them into the ground and create a colorful path. These are also a great gift for Grandparents. If you have little kids a fun and easy garden gift can be made with just paint and hand/footprints! Doggy paw prints is a sure winner too.

This is a quick blog to show off my new macro lens on my camera. How beautiful is this echeveria close up? This succulent is a about 3 inches round and of course water wise. It looks great in all size pots and also in yard landscaping. I’m looking forward to sharing some great photos with you on this garden blog and showing you cactus and succulents in a whole new way! Let me know which photos you like the best- I love to hear from you!
