🎄OUR TREE… may be small in size but it’s large on twinkles and dried gifts from the garden. (Dried flowers are roses, celosia, hydrangeas, sea holly, strawflowers) #Christmas #driedflowers #gardening #cottagegarden #cottagestyle #bloomthymecottagegarden #bloomthyme #roses
💐💐What an honor to have an article in the @americanrosesociety 2022 Annual edition. Guest editor @elenawilliams195 did a fabulous job - every article is fantastic. Congratulations to all contributors! This magazine is one of many great ARS member benefits! If you are not a member go to Rose.org and check it out! 🌹🌹🌹
Numbers matter! This week we’ve gone from 70° to 29°. Today’s high is 37°! So glad the plants in the Potting Shed are a warm and snug at 67°. Regardless of the numbers… have a wonderful day.
🌸This week all peonies were dug, divided and relocated to a new area in the garden where I think they will be their best selves! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Can’t wait to see them next spring! 💐
September blooms ❤️ … it’s going to be hard to say goodbye! Especially the gorgeous Desdemona David Austin rose and those dahlias!! 🌺🌹🌸🌼
She made the world a better place. We will all miss her.
Have a love/hate relationship with fall like I do? Plant some power blooming flowers like shrub roses, zinnias, dahlias, and hyssop and they will carry you right to frost. Sipping a pumpkin spice latte as you say goodbye to summer helps too - in my experience. ☕️🍂🍂🍂
🌱🌹🌸Those tiny seeds, tubers & plants grew! 🌱🪴🌺 Hard to believe the miracles that happen from April to August! 🌱🌹💐
Ready for delivery! Today’s bokay was so fun to create! The recent rains have helped the flowers come back into their own best selves! #flowers #bloomthyme #myrealgarden #dahlias #roses #gardening #flowerarrangement #itcanbearranged
🌺🌼🌹BRING THEM IN! Gathering flowers from your own garden to make a bokay for your home is one of the best parts about growing them! It truly has all the summer vibes!

ABOUT ME…

I know that to everything there is a season, but I’m a gardener and I start counting the days until spring the day after Christmas. I live and grow in Zone 5b where I care for my large garden of roses and their companions. Read on here.
