Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
Room to grow a whole assortment of water plants!

"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.

Love the quote. I keep meaning to do a water garden.
another Lovely creative use for livestock water tanks. Your subject line should have read Not all gardens are full of Bull or Soil Ha Ha Woman Rancher humor : ) Annie
Very pretty! My predicament is more like "what do I do about the mosquito larva in my container without holes." In a container that large perhaps I could get some fish. :)
Annie - you made me laugh out loud with your comment! I love seeing life from rancher woman perspective.
Kerry - I continue to be soooo honored to know YOU stop by my blog! Container info seekers hopefully know to stop by containergardening.about.com/ for great info.
Eliza - thanks for stopping by the blog!! A friend of mine sent me an email and said it reminded her of backyard swimming pools from the 70s.
