Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President Donald Trump held a call on Thursday, resulting in a temporary reprieve from sweeping tariffs that had been imposed just days earlier. The initial 25% tariffs on all Mexican imports, which began on March 4, led to a sharp decline in orders for…

Even with the weather challenges to date in 2025, the strawberry supply looks very similar to this time last year. “The Santa Maria spring crop exceeded weekly estimates right from the start of harvest in early January. This is attributed to strong growing conditions following planting,” says Tim…

Froggsong Gardens was another “first day” garden during the 2024 Fling, and it was also our lunch spot where both buses stopped at the same time and we were all able to mingle.

The listing on Froggsong from our Fling brochure included this: “A five-acre estate garden…It is a blend of formal and informal design. A rose pergola, roundel garden, a stone ruin, and a sunken garden, all share a space that frames and defines the senses. I call this type of garden Northwest Formal…“

Looking at their website it’s clear weddings are the primary target, and what a memorable venue this would be for a big gathering like that. 

I wasn’t thinking of a wedding though when I set out to see what I could see on the property (lunch would have to wait).

The Fling was held over a weekend in late July and that meant lilies were blooming in nearly every garden we visited. Coincidently it was also my birthday weekend, which I share only to note that I’ve always been able to associate blooming lilies with my birthday, it’s a wonderful marker of time.

I spy a Tetrapanax in the distance…

I think nearly every Flinger took a shot like this. 

Eventually I made my way down to the pond area.

And then over to this sort of “secret garden” spot. Naturally I was a fan of the containers.

Oh! Maybe this was the stone ruin mentioned in the description?

More exploring…

Nice pruning!

There was no way into that structure (a sort of greenhouse?), believe me I tried.

It’s always good to spot a Yucca rostrata in the mix.

Even better when it’s joined by an agave!

Frustrated clematis grower that I am I was quite jealous of this happy plant.

For some reason clematis just do not like my garden.

It took me awhile staring at this large pane of glass before I realized I was looking at a shower.

Walking on I came to this small Asian-inspired garden space.

And further still, Dierama pulcherrimum. I was able to grow these to blooming size in my garden for just two years, then they were shaded out. Oh how I love those flowers!

After I finally surrendered to the need for lunch, I explored this final section of the garden.

Maybe it’s the sunken garden due to the bermed edges? There were lots of flying insects moving about, and Flingers too…

I’ll wrap this post up with a photo of one of the most popular blooms in this part of the garden. Cephalaria gigantea, aka giant scabious or yellow scabious
