Agnes & Jeff Forsdick Sage & Snow Garden Club Although Agnes and Jeff Forsdick live on a windy hilltop in a remote area of Sublette County, their gardens did not go unnoticed by the Sage and Snow Garden Club. Their greenhouses, wildflower garden, and beautiful landscaping earned them a Garden of Beauty Award. Agnes and Jeff take great pride in the gardens they have created, but marvel at the beauty of the natural world, and they have worked hard to weave their gardens into the natural landscape. Their spacious wildflower garden travels down a hilly slope to meet the sagebrush. They have incorporated native alpine roses and potentilla into the landscape that overlooks the great beyond. Partially tucked under a large upper deck is a small greenhouse with innovative construction of two layers of double thickness polycarbonate panels to moderate the inside temperature in all seasons. In this greenhouse the tomato plants were already full of large bright red tomatoes. In another small hoophouse, with double layers of poly film, they have a hardy artichoke plant that faithfully returns every spring and produces several large artichokes. Next to the warmth of the greenhouse, they have a large outdoor garlic garden. They have artfully placed shrubs and trees around their yard but keep the wide-open spaces visible to enjoy the sunsets, sunrises, and storms that move in. The Forsdicks truly enjoy where they live and work very hard to enhance the beauty of their outdoor spaces and, at the same time, have created some edible gardens to make their culinary experiences more enjoyable.
Donna Morss Sage & Snow Garden Club Donna and Mart Morss’s exquisite flower and vegetable gardens earned them the first Sage and Snow Garden of Beauty Award for 2025. Their attached greenhouse features waist-high raised beds complete with a drip irrigation system. The beds are filled with tomato plants, raised by Donna, with exotic names like Black Krim, Black Russian, Black Cherry, and Kellogg Breakfast. Sprinkled in between the tomato plants were Kentucky pole beans, lettuce, cucumbers, nasturtiums, and marigolds. In front of the raised beds (to make more efficient use of space) were several varieties of sweet and spicy peppers planted in large grow bags. Outside the greenhouse were several large waist-high raised beds filled with carrots, peas, melons, onions, garlic, potatoes, radishes, beets, celery, kohlrabi, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. In large grow bags and lick tubs placed near the irrigation canal, Donna grows several types of herbs which she dries and uses all winter. The garden wouldn’t be complete without rhubarb plants, raspberry and strawberry patches, as well as peonies, sweet William, columbine, borage, black-eyed Susans, and a beautiful type of Mexican sunflower called Mexican Torch. Inside her home, Donna has a grow room with an efficient system of vertical shelves placed at different heights to accommodate varying heights of plants, complete with LED lights, to grow her transplant seedlings for use in the greenhouse and outdoor gardens. During the summer, those shelves become drying racks for herbs. The Morrs’s gardens are a perfect example of efficiency, productivity, and beauty.
