My guest is Margie Grace, founder of Grace Design, a landscape design company in southern California and we're talking all about our outdoor spaces today.  Now, let me prepare you.... this woman is a whirlwind!  Or, maybe I should say a force of nature!  She's had 40 years of experience and she shares it candidly, frankly, with humor and without artifice.  Margie tells it like it is when it comes to residential backyards and gardening in terms of what you should and shouldn't plant and why being honest with yourself about maintenance is so important.  But Margie is so much more than a gardener and landscape designer.  In this conversation we talk about living a fulfilling life, putting beauty and joy at the top of our list of priorities, and why being a good neighbor and person, in general, is so important.  We talked for over an hour and I could spend days with her and never get bored.  But, despite our joking about it during this conversation, I did edit it down to about a half hour.  So if you want more of Margie, I highly recommend you get her book, "Private Gardens of Santa Barbara" after listening.  And now, I'm delighted to introduce you to Margie Grace.  Grace Design: The Art of Outdoor LivingLINKShttps://www.gracedesignassociates.com/https://www.amazon.com/Private-Gardens-Santa-Barbara-Outdoor/dp/1423654145/…
