Flowers and Garden is the right place for you if you...

Flowers appeal to us in many different ways, whether as a field of wildflowers, a vase with freshly cut flowers, giant yellow sunflowers reaching toward the sky, or the heady fragrance of lilies on the night air. Flowers have the ability to welcome a new baby, offer congratulations on a job well done or mourn the loss of a loved one.

When I visit my mother, one of the first things I like to do is go out and walk through her blooming flower garden. I allow the sights and smells of this floral haven to wrap around me like a comfortable blanket. Nature has the uncanny ability to talk to our souls. The fragrance of a daylily, a butterfly landing on a lilac blossom, or the beauty of the morning dew can and should affect us deeply. It is amazing to me how mowing the lawn, planting flowers and even weeding can lower my stress levels, allow me to deeply relax, and make my mom happy!


It is my hope that I will be able to show you how to incorporate flowers and gardening into your daily life so you too may experience what I have.

Yours in gardening,
