Red Hatters Visit
June 28, 2009
I smile as I write this because I had no idea how much fun the Red Hatters were going to be. The ladies came all dressed in RED and PURPLE with lots of accessories and laughter. Not once did they hesitate to walk the nature trail in the pouring rain! I especially loved their RED umbrella's and RED mud shoes.
The 3 year old future RED HATTER who is the granddaughter of one of the ladies was too cute for words and I mean that!
Thank you ladies for bringing lots of bright sunshine to Petal Pushers Garden Place on such a gloomy day! I want my Grandmother to become a RED HATTER!!!

The Peonies are in full bloom and they are the most beautiful flower in the world to me. If there is a smell in Heaven, it is that of a Peony!
Unfortunately the rain is taking it's toll on them. I went out tonight in the dark to cut a bouquet before the next rain comes.
Today has been busy at the shop! I love seeing repeat customers and customers that have been referred by another visitor from PPGP. The people I have met are so kind. The tips we share and the trades we make are so much fun!
I truly can't say I'd rather be doing anything else! My heart and soul are into it and I thank God for steering me in this direction.
Thank you to everyone who has stopped by. I will continue to make your visiting PPGP a memorable experience.

The Curly Wurly Plant
The plant that I've enjoyed most both last year and this year is the Juncas "Curly Wurly" Rush Grass Plant. Like it's name suggests, it curls in all directions and provides funky eye-candy. It looks great in the stone heads I make or in a deep pottery style vase. It can be planted alone or in an arrangement, and makes a great plant for banks of ponds. It's unique curled foliage will certainly grab the attention of both the young and old! This plant likes to be watered, but doesn't like to have its roots sit in water. They are selling fast and we are working off the last shipment of the year. There are about 10 left so if you are interested, you may want to come by this week!

Seeds Seeds and More Seeds
I have spent the last 4 days planting seeds. Some of them are already germinating. My favorite Zinnia's are up about an inch. The cutting garden should be beautiful this year!
Some wonderful people have stopped by the shop over the past few weeks. We have had alot of fun learning from each other. Some great tips from some great gardeners! One of the visitors, Nellie, invited me to her place and I was so amazed. Her gardens are beautiful with rustic fences, fairies, buddahs and so much more. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and she was so willing to walk through the gardens telling me what everything is. She only lives a mile or two from me and I never would have met her if she hadn't come by. Thanks Nellie!
The stoneheads are becoming popular! More and more people are stopping by to purchase them. I need to get back out and make more.
Every day I feel more and more blessed to be doing something my heart is into. Thank you to everyone who has stopped by to share my passion. It's been a pleasure meeting everyone and I do hope to see you all again! I will be scheduling the plant swap soon.
