FORM & FUNCTION
🌱
I love the romance of a conservatory/greenhouse.
Sanctuaries of nature.
This time of year I especially covet their function….allowing us a bit more time among plants with the sky soaring above.
Even the most basic one can be charming and useful.
Are you lucky enough to have one in your garden?

“Change is good. “
🌱
A friend who understood the magnitude of the loss of the American boxwood in this garden said that when I was at my lowest about it.
🌱
Scroll to see the positive change after a tragic loss of all of the 25 year old American boxwood in this garden to blight!
🌱
A veritable cathedral like space now with the installation today of Natchez standards.
🌱
Many thanks to Jessie Touchstone and Norman Kent Johnson @norman_johnson_gardens for facilitating this transformation!

Final picture is today!

IN MEMORY OF
Jane Campbell Symmes.
Jane was a founding member of the Southern’s Garden History Society.
Her farm, Cedar Lane Farm outside of Madison Georgia, was a 200 acre nursery founded by Jane and her husband John in 1966. The house c.1830 was restored (mind you; not renovated) with appropriate gardens. The house and gardens were an inspiration to many (including me).
Jane died on August 20th 2021 at her beloved farm.

Go to the SGHS website to learn more about her work to promote southern gardens and plant material.

Aluminum plant 🌱
•
Pilea cadierei a herbaceous perennial that grows 1-2’ tall.
This one is in a south Louisiana garden blooming away!
It gets its name from the showy silvery leaves.
But watch out….it is toxic to dogs and cats!

Focal point 🌱
Every garden (we’ll almost) benefits from long vistas and focal points.
Southern gardens, whether compact or linear, can benefit from good design as much as good plant choices.
So important to look at others gardens and successful garden designs to inspire our own.
This garden vista belongs to the two fellows in the last post…Randy Harelson and Richard Gibbs in New Roads Louisiana.
Always an inspiration and quick to share their experience and design expertise.
Join our group to learn and be inspired.
