Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
These simple windowboxes are filled with orange pansies, dusty miller, Red Bor Kale, snapdragons and Lysimachia (some boxes look like they have Bergenia in them). These past few morning of temps in the lower 3os didn't seem to faze them at all. These old buildings are perfectly set up for displaying this old world charm.

"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.

Barbara, You are in Redneck country now!!! lol. I love these window boxes. My mother in law loves Dusy Miller and plants it every year. Will you have a chance to visit Bellingrath? It is such a beautiful place.
Hi Chris, I really had hoped to get to Bellingrath but went non-stop with the expo. I've heard that it is wonderful. I am coming this spring to visit the birmingham and huntsville gardens!
Great window boxes. I am in New York and those combinations would work great! Thanks!
It's hard to believe there is a town that such flower boxes - while all I have is below zero temperatures.
Hi Barbara:
Thank you for the wonderful garden and container shares! I enjoy visiting all the places your growing too from my ranch in Southern California. Annie
