HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2025-2026 and GPC Desert House & Greenhouse 9 - MyShadowProductions #216

FELICES FIESTAS !! (Happy Holidays) to one and all.

Right on schedule, Christmas is coming on December 25 and you guessed it, the New Year follows on January 01 and it will be 2026.

Thank you to everyone reading the Blog, I really enjoy keeping my “creativity” front and center knowing that Life and Mother Nature offer so many “things” to be grateful for!!

I put together a Christmas Card Video from pictures of random “holiday” sights over the last month and a half and would like to share it with YOU!

Now, for something completely different.

Over the last 20 months or so I have accumulated some random pictures at Garfield Park Conservatory’s Desert House and its associated Greenhouse 9 (I have been fortunate to help out in both on several volunteer shifts). The pictures/short videos are in no specific order and there is no way I know what every plant is :). Greenhouse 9, when the cd radio player works, has Classical music playing for the resident plants. When the wind is blowing in the right direction I could hear the music while helping outside in Child Wild and the Gravel Garden (took me a while to figure that out, at first I thought I was imagining it :). You might/probably will notice that the 2 spaces have a few quirky/cool “things” going on :)

Please, Enjoy the VIDEO for some desert warmth :)

BEST WISHES for a 

HEALTHY (body and spirit) 2026!

FULL BLOOM AHEAD !!
