Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
| While we are roasting our hotdogs and planning our fun activities today, let's all take a minute to write a note/make a phone call/send an email to a soldier who helps keep independence a reality. This is a rare photo I have from my son, Jonathan's, time in Iraq as a Marine. So thankful for his service to our country and so thankful he's home safely with his wife and two children! |

"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.

Happy Fourth! (late) We could see the downtown fireworks from Becca's front yard...sort of. Good night to stay home -- too hot to try to do the riverfront.
Love the fireworks and full moon!!
Beautiful photos!
