Public House restaurant to reopen this month in downtown Ferndale
A beloved neighborhood bar and brunch spot, Public House in downtown Ferndale is planning to reopen this month after renovations and a change in ownership. Returning diners will notice a 1,000-square-foot, 82-seat garden patio designed by Ron & Roman, a new menu with traditional pub fare, plant-based and gluten-free items and a second kitchen solely for vegan cooking.

Gardening principles | Home & Garden
Praying for rain! Rosemary is a Mediterranean native that grows as a shrub in southern California, Texas and other areas with dry summers and mild winters. Its hardiness in other regions is iffy without protection, because cold, dry winds will quickly dehydrate the leaves. To be safe, grow some of your Rosemary in pots and bring it into a cool room during frigid weather. In any climate, Rosemary’s strong, resinous scent and delicious flavor are perfect with grilled fish, meats, and Mediterranean-style vegetables. Light, well-drained soil is essential for Rosemary, especially for container-grown plants. Water only as often as needed to keep the soil slightly moist. Plants need full sun…

Poinsettias: The traditional Christmas poinsettia has been popular for decades with the bright red leaves still being the most popular color with shoppers.

YARD AND GARDEN: Change up your holiday plant tradition with amaryllis | Home & Garden
Master Gardener Juanita Sherwood introduces you to amaryllis. By now, Thanksgiving is over and your focus is on Christmas. Maybe you are one of those people who regularly buy a poinsettia or two for yourself, and some as gifts for friends and family. I like at least one for myself and have sometimes bought one of the newer varieties just for a change. I especially like the one that looks like it has been splattered with paint. While poinsettias are a great tradition, there is another holiday plant that you might not want to overlook, both for yourself and as gifts, and that is the amaryllis. Amaryllis bulbs were brought…

This meticulously planned and planted Queen Anne garden changes for the seasons in colorful echoes of a restored Victorian home
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, this sultry Victorian on Queen Anne was once a humble 1906 house clad in white vinyl siding, with a “pretty” pink, yellow and blue garden skirting its foundation. Then Brian Coleman, a Seattle psychiatrist with a love for old houses, discovered a passion for historical restoration. “We added a turret, carvings of sunflowers and cast-iron griffins, along with new siding in a fall palette of deep greens, gold and burgundy,” he says. “The garden had to change!” American poet Phyllis McGinley once wrote, “The trouble with gardening is that it does not remain an avocation. It becomes an obsession.” Coleman tells me his passion (obsession?) for…
