Far Out Flora Fling

Way back in the foggy days of summer I joined a gathering of plant geeks and freaks, hosted by Far Out Flora's Megan and Matti. It was excited to see their garden in person - a mostly succulent garden in San Francisco, about a block from Ocean Beach. Beautifully composed and well-tended, I love the bendy branches edging the beds, the pots nestled around and the combination of textures and colors.

I love Megan and Matti's excellent eye for found object reuse:

I really enjoyed my visit to Far Out Flora's wonderfully intricate garden. Thanks for hosting you two!

  4. And I bet their garden looks just about the same in January, with fuchsias still in bloom and succulents in their prime growing season. The line of 'roos is fabulous.

  5. So fun & so much to see. It is totally fitting that a garden by the ocean should have a surfboard in it!

  7. Hey Megan - I kept trying to post this and tag you on Facebook but for some reason during that period, Facebook wasn't letting me post links. Didn't mean to keep it so secret!
