"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.

Hi Barbara,
I love this box and maybe that is Rosemary underneath? The caladiums are always a delight to see. A very peaceful front entry the way it is arranged.
I hope you had a Happy New Year and maybe I'll get a chance to see you again sometime this year.

Meems! I keep looking at my door wondering when you're gonna drive up the road and see me :).
Hi Barbara, I know this is an old post, but it's evergreen! The pictures are wonderful, and I so wanted to follow you on Pinterest - but there's something wrong with your button. You might want to check that!
Glad to 'meet' other succulent addicts!
HI BARBARA: WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHICH SUCCULENT PLANT IS AT EACH END OF THIS BEAUTIFUL WINDOW BOX

I'm thinking either an aeonium or variegated orange stonecrop (Sedum kamtschaticum)
