"Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of traveling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell "The Essential Earthman" I work as the Floriculture Director for Landscape Services, Inc. My job includes designing and planting semi-annually hundreds of annual beds containers and garden beds for commercial development, neighborhoods, and residents requesting our horticulture services. I love my job and the opportunity to bring beauty to our local communities. Most of all, I love introducing new plant material to the average gardener, and to helping them find success in their own gardens.

I found your blog through Blotanical. Welcome to our community of garden bloggers! I like your header picture of the pink rose and frost. I think it is very beautiful. I like this planter box too and all those on the sidebar. What do you call this plant?
The
header flower is a camellia japonica. This photo was taken during a
rare snow at Calloway Gardens, Georgia during their January Southern
Garden Symposium. Thanks for the kind words! Most of these planters are
ones that either I or my staff planted in the developments where I
work. This planter box is a wild combination of Chenille plant (the red
woolly worm looking plant), blue callibrachoa, "Black pearl" ornamental
pepper, variegated garlic, and bleeding heart vine. One of my
co-workers called this my schizophrenic planter! I loved that there was
some plant in the container "speaking to me" all summer long :).
