Under the Shady Oaks

“A good garden may have some weeds.”

Thomas Fuller

Hello and welcome! My name is Brenda and I’m an amateur gardener with a background in biology and medicine. I have spent the last fourteen years on my education and training only to recently make a dramatic pivot to home, family, and of course my garden.

We recently moved to Oregon and bought a 1970s home on 1.3 acres. The house will need some updating but the reason I fell in love was the property. The back garden was once a show piece but is now overgrown and under-loved. Please join my new adventure under the shady oaks of our new home.
