Petals from the Past 16034 Co. Rd. 29, Jemison, Alabama 35085
These gardens reminded me of my mother’s perennial beds in Montpelier, Vermont. The gardens she would dig in the dirt, swearing under her breath at the deer that had eaten her bulbs. She called the deer, Bulb Breath…
The style of gardens surrounding the building were like an old fashioned English Cottage Garden. SOMEDAY, my perennials will look like this. Alabama has gotten into the upper 80s already. Too hot to call spring, spring. But, like magic, the weather turned cold again. A gift on the day my friend, Ginger took me to this magical place. The sky, the wind & the smell was so familiar, I felt that I had some how been brought back in time & place…i expected to see my mother digging among all those stunning, perfect flower beds, swearing at the damn deer.

That photo has made me perfectly happy. Those are the kind of flowers I grow- they are who I am too!

Very much so. They are gloomy, rainy & dull…i’m so grateful that the seasons do change here though. Seeing spring colors come up from the dullness is just as beautiful here as it was in Vermont. Thanks, John! ~amy
