The Best of Wife, Mother, Gardener

The Front Walk Garden with Allium aflatunense 'Purple Sensation' with Tulipa 'Cum Laude' in May 2011

I am pleased, and a bit surprised, to announce that this is my 300th post on WMG!

Over the past two years, my blog has recorded what was blooming every month in our town garden, our garden maintenance, our garden's succession planting, visits to other excellent gardens (including a fellow-blogger's garden!) and scenes of our children in every season growing up surrounded by nature. It all began from my husband's encouragement to document some of our favorite plant combinations from the 2010 growing season.

Here is just a sampling of my favorite photographs of our gardens with links to popular posts from the past two years. Hope you enjoy them again - or for the first time!

Pennsylvania Garden Bloggers' Meeting

Garden bloggers from three corners of Pennsylvania: from left, Carolyn, Pam and Julie - that's me :)

I had the treat a few weeks ago of getting to meet my first "garden bloggers." Of course there is much more to these two beautiful ladies than just garden blogging, as is true of all of us. And by chance, these two also happen to be wives, mothers and gifted gardeners... and wonderful people with whom to spend the day!
