Garden Walk ~ My Summer Garden
Summertime and the living is easy! Well, not really if you are a gardener! Summer is time to weed and dig and plant, tie up vines, turn the compost pile and harvest veggies. Do you see all those cute benches in our garden? I hardly ever get to land on one unless it is to

DIY Project ~ My Bicycle Planter
For about a year, I have been admiring those bicycle planters on Pinterest and Hometalk and wanting to make one for our garden. Finding the bike was the hardest part! Then my friend, Renee’, bought a fancy new bike and gave her still usable one to another friend, Suzie. Long story made short: I

Garden Walk ~ Mid-July in my garden
A muggy mid-July morning, but my flowers don’t seem to mind a bit. The garden is awash with color, and the butterflies and bees are flitting from one lovely bloom to the next. We are spending a lot of time in the gazebo since all the wet weather has brought out multitudes of mosquitoes!

Gardening Inspiration ~ Karin’s Garden
As a gardener myself, I love to see the gardens of others as I appreciate the planning and effort that they require. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful neighbor and friend, just down the street, whose garden is a treat to see every day. Karin has artfully set up flowerbeds lining her

Garden Walk ~ July 1st.
An unbelievable eleven inches of rain fell in June here in Delaware, and the resulting plant growth is amazing. Everything is lush and large and begging to get its picture taken. Ever accommodating, I run out in the early morning or just at dusk and attempt to catch the flowers at their

DIY Project ~ Country Flower Basket
For the last arrangement in TheDCH Floral Workshop series, “The Nose Knows” was the theme. A country basket filled with free form meadow wildflowers, garden cuttings and fragrant florist flowers was created by instructor Brenda Tunis. Incorporating scent into your flower arranging was the focus. Brenda had clipped samples from her own yard for us

Newark Garden Tour ~ 2013
Yesterday, June 8th, was the Newark Garden Tour sponsored by the Newark Arts Alliance. Fourteen amazing gardens were open for visiting and made for a day of inspiration. This diverse collection of gardens covered the gamut from vegetable gardens, habitat gardens, sculpture gardens, water gardens, to sunny and shade gardens. There was definitely something for

Garden Walk ~ June 1st
Hotter than Hades the last few days, in the 90’s, and the flowers and I are wilting fast! Hopefully, tomorrow’s predicted rain will materialize and cool us all down again. So, a quick stroll to capture the blooms of the day as they may not hang on for long in this heat. And

Springtime in Goodstay Gardens
On a recent balmy spring evening, the Arden Garden Gild visited the grounds of the Goodstay Gardens on Pennsylvania Avenue in Wilmington, Delaware. At the height of its spring bloom, the collection of six enclosed gardens was a sight to behold. Breathtaking peonies planted in long flowerbeds filled the air with a lovely

May Garden ~ Birdhouses & Flowers
In looking around the garden, I see a theme has developed. It’s all about the birds and flowers. With approximately one hundred birdhouses, I suppose my collection is now nearing intervention status! Some are decorative and some are functional with clean-outs, but long ago I found out the birds are the ones who decide
