Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
Brought this in today to the greenhouse to replant for spring. Painful - it still had a some beauty left in it to enjoy but this client was, "so ready for spring plants". Scotch broom (cytisus x Allgold), Lemon Ball sedum, yellow pansy - see you next year! Monochrome has its place - especially in a black container against a red brick house.Labels: 365 Days of Container Gardening, 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.
