Day 145 - Retro Thursday

About this time last year I was in Dallas for work and got to check out Dallas Blooms at the Dallas Arboretum. I loved these containers with the overflow of Begonias, Bacopa, bulbs, beautiful Cardoon, Shrimp plant (Justicia brandegeeana), Ornamental Kale, and Violas. Dallas Blooms starts again this year on March 5 and goes until April 10 - if you go, tell Jimmy Turner that Barbara sent you.

"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.
