"My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the
beds of spices,
to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies."
Song of Solomon 6:2
How beautiful is God's creation in bloom! It is spring and
everything is popping out anew! God's promises to us are true -- from seedtime to
harvest! I am a fairly new gardener myself but my husband is a rosarian and has
always had that special "gardener's touch" so I will be sharing some of his
pictures and our favorite gardens and gardening places. I have compiled a healthy
list of resources to help you along your gardening path so enjoy and "happy and
successful gardening" to you! |

|
Our "Promise Gardens" 2006.
|
- Jackson and Perkins - we buy many of
their roses; they have a catalog; you can buy them online or go to your favorite nursery
and get them in person (my favorite thing to do but watch out -- you can overspend and
then have to plant them all -- 8:)
