Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
posted by barbara wise @ 8:57 PM
"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.

Yes, I went to a Christmas Open House Friday night, and I am tempted to start....I love Christmas! But I am having Thanksgiving here this year, so I am redoing arrangements and keeping fall here for a couple more weeks. I have three trees up, but they have fall leaves in them... I normally do 6 or more trees in the house for Christmas. It takes about a week to put them up....but I take it all down in one day...lol. I am enjoying your site, come and visit mine soon....I am going to take a few pics today of my "Fall Trees" ~Brooke
