Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
These folks in Buffalo, NY are NOT afraid of color. This cottage district had some fabulous gardens and I was salivating over the colorful banister boxes. Non-stop Begonias and sweet potato vine - Blackie and a chartreuse variety are great companions with the begonias in these boxes. I'm wondering if they all shared the gallon of red paint for their boxes.Labels: 365 Days of Container Gardening

"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.

I would like white stuff but with that house the multiple colors works. they have about every color covered, don't they. I think it looks fun.

Beautiful!
Kisses!
How beautiful! And how disturbing that I seem to have missed this garden last July. I'll have to keep my eyes fully open this July.
I LOVED the color use at this home! I remember talking about how the flowers and the home's colors all coordinated with the cushions on the bench. Beautiful!
