Virginia Wildflowers

April 23, 2012 by Jeanne

My friend, fellow writer and Master Gardener, Cynthia Wood, has started a great project documenting one of Virginia’s natural treasures – Virginia wildflowers, specifically local wild flowers at Bear Creek State Park and Holliday Lake State Park (one of my favorite local hiking spots.) She has a website and a Facebook page devoted to Virginia wildflowers. Please “like” her Facebook page and if you drop her a note, let her know you found her information through Jeanne at Seven Oaks.

Companion Planting with Herbs: Your Secret Weapon for a Healthier, Happier Garden

My tomatoes thrive. “Did you know that basil repels aphids?” an organic gardener friend mentioned to me casually one…

The Folk Art Weather House

I’ve loved this little folk art weather house all my life. It still makes me smile. What gardener doesn’t need to know the weather? I grew up with many German relatives.
