Visit linkChickadee Gardens is written from a two-acre garden in Oregon. The author grows food on the same plot where the drought-tolerant and native plants are grown, so the advice comes from one garden's real conditions. The blog treats the year as a hot season and a wet season, with spring and autumn shrinking. Posts are organised by month and by project, from a wildlife pond to a garden border, and the blog also covers visits to gardens such as Sissinghurst and the Miller Botanical Garden.
