• A Garden With a View on Camano Island (finegardening.com) — A Camano Island gardener opens up his sloped, rock-filled front yard, showing how he turned a challenging cul-de-sac lot into a textured, drought-tolerant landscape with mountain and bay views. Local readers can pick up ideas for stabilizing slopes, choosing hardy plants for Zone 8b, and creating wildlife-friendly features like waterfalls and grape-covered fences right here on the island.
