Day 131 - Retro Thursday: Charleston, One Year Ago
A year ago I was traipsing the cobble-stone streets of Charleston in awe of the winter window boxes that accented so many of the homes in this historic district. After nearly 2 and 1/2 months this year of consistently frigid temperatures here in Nashville, I'm thinking another trip to Charleston is sounding mighty tempting! Alas, I think I'll only be traveling through pictures for now.
"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.
