Garden of Beauty August 9, 2019 Garden of Beauty: Cassie & Tom Johnston Cassie Johnston Photo courtesy Sage & Snow Garden Club

August 9, 2019 – Cassie and tom Johnston, 61 Sandy Lane, Boulder, certainly deserve the Sage and Snow Garden of Beauty Award. Their beautifully landscaped yard, two greenhouses, and expansive vegetable gardens are unusual for busy folks. Cassie built the first greenhouse from old soccer goals and filled it with tomatoes and summer squash. The second is built with cattle panels and is filled with sweet potatoes, cucumbers, herbs, and spicy peppers. The greenhouses and outdoor gardens are irrigated with an elaborate drip system. Cassie grows potatoes, peas, kale, spinach, lettuce, beets, carrots, onions, rutabagas, Brussels sprouts, and asparagus in the outdoor gardens. Since daughter Emily is the brew master for the Wind River Brew Pub, Cassie is attempting to grow some exotic hops for Emily to use in brewing beer. Cassie and Tom’s gardening projects are a great example of re-purposing materials to create something new and useful.
