There's a secret garden in Pittsburgh that's not normally open to the public.
But if you want to take a peek, I'll let you in today.

I've dyed shirts with blackberries on accident before.
But this time I did it on purpose.
This week, I chatted with Frances Tophill (from @gwandshows) about dyeing, hummingbirds and fast fashion!

Heading to my first ever plant conference and they just sent an email telling us to "wear your favorite perennial plant of the year t-shirt on Wednesday." I'm worried I'm going to be underdressed. #GardeningTwitter #ppasymposium
