A wonderful evening at Robert Hicks’ Labor in Vain celebrating his life and contribution to preservation and the Southern Garden History Society.
Hosted by the Tennessee SGHS Ambassadors Program, @justinostelter and his lovely family we toured the house, collections, grounds and gardens while enjoying libations, barbecue, music and laughter.
Robert, we will long remember you, dear friend, and celebrate you every chance we get 🌱
Won’t YOU join us?

A very Southern gardeners tradition is sharing plants!
This fabulous towering ginger or butterfly lily came to my garden from fellow gardener and 19th Century home dweller Ruth Ellen Calhoun of Natchez Mississippi.
This example towers over my garden, emulating the towering gentility of her former mistress and gardener.

I believe the proper name for this is Hedychium Ayo
Ruth Ellen called it a yellow ginger.

Scenes from the beautiful gardens of Bunny Williams and John Roselli in Connecticut.
I know it’s not Southern, but it was very inspiring to this Southern Gardener.
Thanks to Bunny and the Garden Conservancy for this opportunity!
