MARIAN'S GARDEN!!


Saturday, my friend, Marian and I volunteered to work the annual Fall Plant Sale at our local botanical center.
 I will post about that later this week.
I hope you notice the beautiful BLUE sky! 

Today, I want to share my friend's secret garden. 

Our community is inundated with deer. Any plant within their range is fodder for them.  If you hope to have any flowering plant material you have to protect it from the deer.
Marian has a very small fenced area of her side yard that has flourished this year.
 Let's visit!
Her volunteer Beautyberry is awesome this year. The birds will find the berries soon and the plant will be stripped within two days. 

Here, we can just see the rooting of Night Blooming Cereus, that I gave her earlier in the season. Hers will out grow mine easily. 
 Marian has two green thumbs.
Beautiful Penta! 
Marian's little fence. It takes only a small barrier to keep out the deer, especially when they don't have open space to jump.  

Marian is easily the most beautiful thing in the garden.

Her friendship is special and we have so much fun together

Now we are off to sell some plants!

See you later!!
Please leave a comment so that I know you visited!


I am joining the following parties. Come join in the fun!

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY


SAINT PATRICK'S DAY
IN SAVANNAH, GA
IS MAGIC!!
and Granny's having a giveaway
HERE !!
I am not sure who let her in. I can see I will have to call security.
It is our Mardi Gras. The parade lasts hour upon hour.
The city fountains are flowing green, we're eating green grits and leprechauns are trolling the streets. 
The hotels are booked a year in advance. It is best to have a relative or good friend to visit.
My two awesome daughters are visiting me for 
the special week.
I will be back later with lots of pictures and a narrative of the BIG day.
Since you are here don't forget to sign up for my giveaway. HERE !!
I didn't get a chance to do a new tablescape this week but I would like to share a few pics of last year's tables.
I wasn't blogging then. These pics are just candids
I hosted my garden club's monthly meeting a couple of days before St Patrick's Day. Our club's name is 
"The Heritage Garden Club".
Don't you think that's an appropriate name for the oldest city in Georgia?
Early arrivals
A great time was had by all, as is usual and customary. 
We range in age from 30 to 95. 
If you remember the Women's Bridge Club
in "Midnight in the Garden of Good Evil"
You have seen our garden club. 
My dining room is not large so we had two tables. This is the kitchen table.

Enameled charger, white dinner plate - HomeGoods, Salad plate - HomeGoods and TJ,  Flatware - everyday, Green Boopie - my collection. 
Dessert dishes, Green Boopie - My collection
One dear member is a 95 years old and "hot to trot". She has her own meeting in the midst of the rest of us. She speaks of triumphs and conquests of years gone by. Don't make eye contact or you will get flashed. 
There is the sweet member who always gets lost driving to the meeting. She refuses to accept a ride, meet in a central location or follow. One particular member always goes out to find her and brings her along, in time for dessert. 


Everyone started arriving before I got close ups of the dining room table.


We have our beloved "Seasonal Sally" (not her real name). She is our belle of the ball, always dressed to celebrate the holiday of the month. This lovely lady will knock your socks off.
I am not identifying anyone!

Then you have me and my cohorts. We watch it all, while giggling like school girls. We're ever thankful that we haven't gotten to that point, just yet. Of course we secretly wish we had the guts to emulate "Seasonal Sally".  Our pic was not publish worthy. LOL!
I sincerely hope you enjoyed joining our garden club meeting. You are welcome back anytime. Just bring along your sense of humor. You will need it!

As mentioned afore, I will have my lovely daughters down for the week leading up to the festivities. I will be reporting back about THEIR antics.
I am linking up to everyone I can think of so be sure to hop over to party with these gracious hostesses.





Now don't forget to sign up for my giveaway. HERE !!
