All tested and gardener approved.

Happy Meals
The hay is put up in the barn and Flame and Jimmy love the first samples of the crop.
Smitten
I used Ammi or False Queen Anne’s Lace
in my daughter’s bridal flowers this summer.
The delicate flower is on my list to grow next year.
The variety is called Dara.
It was a wonderful cut flower with beautiful shades of cream to chocolate.
This flower is actually an ornamental carrot!
Never Far From Garden
It was never my intention to take a ‘blogging break’ this summer,
though this is exactly what happened.
September is my favorite month for many reasons,
and I’m happy to be back sharing garden inspiration!
This wall of garden pots certainly inspires me to organize the potting shed.
Every corner of Terrain At Styers in Glenn Mill, PA was beautifully displayed.
Flower Child
This past June our daughter Laura was married to Drew in a lovely wedding ceremony.
The weather was beautiful and the day filled with family and friends enjoying the ceremony location.
She wanted lots of flowers and a big, colorful bouquet to carry.
This was not surprise to us.
You see, this girl spent the first 3 months of her life at our flower shop.
The sights and smells of fresh flowers filled her first days as a newborn baby.
She sat in a baby seat on the design table and napped next to the blooming plants in her bassinet.
Her bottles were tucked next to buckets of flowers in the cooler.
It was a labor of love to make my flower child’s wedding bouquet.
Yes, I was up until 3 AM!
Vacation Pictures
I was sure you wanted to see more vacation images!
The Mushroom House at Terrain at Styer’s in Glenn Mills PA.
This garden center did not disappoint with so much to look at, shop for.
Even a Cafe to have a coffee or brunch on a beautiful Sunday morning.
Better With Age
Take Time To Smell The Flowers
And then get to work on all the garden chores!
The garden work is plentiful this month with flowers to dead head, weeds to keep at bay,
and the vegetable garden to tend.
Zinnia
No summer would be complete without some Zinnia’s in the garden or on my table.
Though my house is under construction, I’m still bringing in flowers for the table.
I’m in love with the morning light in my new dining room.
Propagating Pretty
Propagating the Scented Geranium that I used in the wedding flowers.
I ran out of Rooting Hormone and grabbed the next best thing, cinnamon!
You can use cinnamon and wow does it smell delicious in the greenhouse today!
