"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.

Where on earth do you get all of these containers Barbara? Surely you don't make every single one?? What talent.
When I feel weepy I go into the kitchen and cook! It helps keep the house warm on a day like today too. Help me celebrate my 3rd blogoversary by visiting - I'm giving away a great book. The first of three!
Oh, yes,Pat! Comfort food seems to lift the spirits of my whole family. I'm heading over to your blog now :)
Hey there Jean! Thanks. Yes, unless mentioned otherwise these containers are part of my daily fun (sometimes called work). I average about 600 containers a year with my job, another 100 or so for special events/my own house :).
