Flower Thoughts for Christmas Week



Most of us are wrapping up gifts and loose ends before we jump head first into the New Year. During the next couple of weeks, simplicity must be the theme – a flower power thought with a fitting quote to help us prepare for plenty of downtime in our winter gardens.

Today’s photo summarizes one quick hibernating tip for our landscapes – look at the natural views created on your property or other properties you may visit throughout the year. What draws you in? What keeps your focus? Observe the natural elements. Wherever your garden is, whether a rooftop terrace or a vegetable patch, think of your garden as art. Think of where you can take that! And as Paul Cezanne reminds us, “Art is a harmony parallel with nature.”

About Me

My Photo
My gardening influence starts with my Italian grandmother and mother. Their passion for gardening and fresh food has led me to my love for the earth. My Dad taught me my appreciation for nature and my border collies keep me grounded, staying in contact with it daily, whether I want to or not. My husband, Greg's passion for agriculture, horticulture, naturalistic landscape designs and travel have kept us busy in our time together. It's hard to work with and live with your husband but we manage to do it and still find laughter. I think it is because we love food, gardening and nature.
