Horticultural Dream

ENJOY!

I have always wanted a greenhouse, and when I do finally splurge, I hope that it will be so beautiful.

This garden is featured in Traditional Home magazine online in the Gardening and Outdoors section.

The property has an overflowing herb garden.

This outdoor room is a perfect place to enjoy the beautiful view and the fragrances of the garden.

Can you imagine walking up to pick the oranges for your orange juice after you take your morning dip?

I am ready to roll up my sleeves and get my hands in the dirt. Spring has finally sprung, and I have the bug!

See you soon,

Teresa

I will return with Embracing Etiquette on the 22nd. It is Spring Break here, and I don't want the college crowd to miss a week.

For the Love of Roses...

Beginning Monday, post or not, I will begin to place an etiquette tip from the Emily Post Etiquette book on this blog. This will continue until I have covered all areas.

The Rose Garden

The majority of my roses are grown in large containers, but there is nothing like the soil to bring life to this subtle form of beauty. Climbing roses can blanket a wall, trellis, gate, arbor or fence with marvelous grandeur.

A collection of my favorite roses follow, but there are infinite colors, fragrances and shapes to enjoy. Jackson Perkins and Heirloom Roses are the sources here. I have also listed two of my favorite garden centers. Nothing can replace the guidance provided by a reputable nursery, and I put my utmost trust in these two.

One of my trusted gardens, Southern Homes and Gardens, Montgomery, AL., has been a leader in gardening for as long as I can remember.

Green Thumb Nursery in Montgomery, AL. I spent many hours here planning my garden and water garden.

Certainly I am not suggesting that you plant your rose bushes today, but I hope that you have enjoyed this boost from the cold. A well planned garden is the beginning of many hours of pleasure.

See you soon, I am almost finished with the blackboard project, so I will post it soon.
