{garden)

Photobucket

There is a little garden place called Terrain At Home in PA that I dream about. I mean just look @ the above flyers that they use just to market their events. If I were to live anywhere close I would take some of their gardening classes.

Pls. observe the charming gardening tools/accessories below. Most of them are found here.
I would need those pillows just because. The humor in the garden signs are great and I could not garden under any circumstances without a little humor.



In theory I really love the concept of having a garden.
It's only a theory @ this point because I have never grown one all by myself.
In which I feel is a good idea to prove this theory for myself someday soon.
I understand the value that goes into growing one and have even reaped the rewards of other people's gardens
The best is when a quaint little restaurant grows their veggies only meters from their little eatery...I know.

For now I am really enjoying thinking about the parallels of life & the growing of a garden.

*Takes much patience
*Takes light
*Sometimes needs a extra boost
*Takes cultivating
*If at first garden doesn't turn out the way one wants, stick with it because next year the soil will be much richer and prepared to be a success
*Takes work & discipline
ETC...

Of course I would have to have a nice space to sit and watch the garden grow.


Happy weekend!

  2. i think you already are a "green thunb" at everything you touch. it doesn't have to be in a garden per say, to watch it grow. YOU create a "bunch of gorgeous-ness" everyday.

    happy weekend!

  7. I love to garden. It is a lot of work and expensive to start though. It is so worth it when I can get fresh herbs or flowers anytime I want though.
