What I'm All About:

I grow cut flowers for brides and florists, but I also blog my gardening adventures as a commercial and home gardener. I primarily grow perennials in an effort to create a habitat for bees, birds, butterflies and other critters, but I also grow some favorite annuals every year from purchased or saved seed (or both!). In these pages you will find a mixture of advice, rants, growing information for flowers and herbs, links and resources, photo albums, and everything in between.

I live in Batesville, Mississippi, Zone 7B, so what I do in my garden may not necessarily work for you.

If there is anything you would like to see added to the site or have any gardening questions you think I can answer, please feel free to send me an e-mail. See my About me page for more info.

    I have been so busy in the garden that I haven’t had much time to blog about it! Combined with work and school, it has served to make my life very full.
    This week I have Echinacea, Veronica, Calla Lilies, Gladiolus, Gardenia, Lantana, Roses (finally!), Dianthus, Ajuga, and one lone Shasta Daisy in [...]
