Sally Field – Gardener and Actress
I had great fun interviewing Sally Field about her love of gardening (the article appeared in the P-I Feb. 14; read it here), and if that wasn’t enough, I got to appear on stage with her at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show, Feb. 23, where we talked about Gardening for Good Health.
Sally gardens in the Malibu hills of Southern California, a much tougher place than Seattle, but we share some of the same fondness for plants, such as Ceanothus and California poppies. I passed along a book recommendation (Designing With Succulents, Debra Lee Baldwin, Timber Press, 2007) and the name of a great mail-order nursery — Annie’s Annuals.
