I think for women it gets them into their own little world. When you're gardening you're totally in your own little world, nobody matters, no problems matter, doing something you love to do. Gardening is so popular in our neighbourhood. One of the beautiful gardens is my friend Lynn and Marina on the side and it's created a wonderful friendship between the three of us. And we trade plants and ideas and we really bounce off of each other for really creative things in our garden too. In friendship's fragrant garden, There are flowers of every hue. Each with its own fair beauty And its gift of joy for you. -Friendship's Garden JAN PEDERSON: GARDEN CENTER OWNER Gardeners are a group of people who, once infected by the bug, never lose it. It's hobby like no other. Today's gardener says my garden is part of my life. Gardeners spend in the neighbourhood of $250 to $750. The most popular plant by far is the endless summer hydrangea. My father taught me how to love plants from a very early age and that's a special gift that I hope I can pass on to my kids. You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind. - Anonymous The best fertilizer is the gardener's shadow. - Author Unknown VALERIE DENESIUK: GARDENER, ELMWOOD My first memory of gardens was very early... coming down the hill...there was this row of hollyhocks against the white stucco house and it was just a blaze of colour. It's still in my memory totally there and I just love hollyhocks to this day because of it. I have become my Baba, my grandmother was a great gardener totally addicted to gardening. Because I have a small yard I have to be careful of what's there but most of my plants are perennials or self-seeding. Special time is first thing in the morning to go out in the garden to see things you take that first cup of coffee and wander around in your housecoat and look at what's come new overnight. True friendship is like a rose: We don't realize its beauty until it fades. -Evelyn Loeb I have heard the expression that your garden is always the reflection of your friends because there is bits and pieces of them. Lee I find her yard interesting. Her's is 10 times bigger than mine she has these little rooms and pockets. Nettie Melnyk has a marvellous garden and yard with an explosion of colour you wouldn't believe. Fran is my hero because she gardens in such a carefree manner you just go in there and enjoy it and she doesn't worry about the rules she gardens. Where flowers bloom so does hope. - Lady Bird Johnson <- Previous Page . Next page -> <- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ->
