Gasp!! I’d just gone on vacay when this post came out, so I’m seeing it for the first time now! It WAS a fairly perfect day, wasn’t it? So much fun to hobnob around with garden peeps in gorgeous places. Rain be damned! Didn’t slow us down a bit.

Here’s to looking forward to the next time! <3

Aerelon – The Patch is sheer magic – and it is the people that make it that way! ESP and Leah (and their wonderful kids) create a space for play and enchantment, and that is what I think gardens are all about! Which is why I love it there so much…

ESP! Yes, the Naboo emissaries have been staking out my garden, making sure that my intentions were innocent. I never thought to “out” them with the photo, but these matters can be misinterpreted. They are protective of their culture, after all! I think the Naboo warrior in the picture was angling for the camera. I heard that he is trying to make a go of the talk show circuit… did that bit of news reach you? The emissaries are a gossipy bunch.
XO!!!

Nicole – to read ESP is to enter into another world! I am SO lucky to have experienced it firsthand! And yes, I still have some baby A. wilmorinianas – but they have gotten pretty big … how could we do this?

Oh Laura … it was a day of fun and frolicking among the coolest plants and people! If only I could have one of those days a WEEK!

Ivette
I am headed to San Francisco and wondered if you still had any of those agave bulbils-you can mail to my friend in SF and I’ll be able to take back with me to the Caribbean.

Hi G.

So glad you had a nice time in the ESPatch…we all did. First of all I have to say how astonished I am that you actually captured a member of the Naboo tribe in one of your pictures. “What could be hiding between the amaranth and the echinacea? Well I believe this to be the first ever tribal member ever to be captured on a digital camera…but there he is, toward the bottom of frame, just left of center! Amazing capture of this shy warrior and…and…are those sunglasses he is wearing?!!!

We all had fun here in the Patch, reading your first-hand account of your visit, and your pictures really captured the day beautifully.

I think Pam and I must have just got hit by the same mosquito judging from that image!

Addie keeps her jewel in her secret “special place.”

Thanks for visiting!
ESP.

It seems like a really magical place. I like that it’s such a even combination of elements with nothing moving towards too much.

Pam – there is something in the air, and the soil, and probably the water, too, over there in Austin! It is ALL so enchanting, the garden energy, the enthusiasm, the eclectic group of personalities. I love your city! I am PROUD to be an adopted member of the Austin Gardeners/Bloggers!

You are welcome! It was such a treat to have you visit, Germi. You captured the magic of the Patch beautifully. The first time I saw the Patch I recognized how special it was, and your description of your first visit brings it all back.
