Hello sweet friends, I am so glad you are here. Spring is still a couple of months away, and even though I love all four seasons, I thought a little garden therapy would be a welcomed change! Let’s take a dip into my archives for a few gardening posts today! But first, a fun little thing that happened this week…
I always look forward to Southern Lady in my mailbox. It is a favorite publication of mine as are all the Hoffman Media Publications. You can imagine my surprise when my sweet friend Bonnie at Living With Thanksgiving sent me a text…
…βEveryday Living is on page 13.β
I couldnβt get to my mailbox fast enough. See our garden in the bottom right-hand corner!!! I know it is only a small photo from my Instagram, but that didnβt lessen my excitement!
The fog had lifted and the rain had stopped!

The spring of 2016…our garden was green and growing!

Limelight hydrangeas and sunflowers were putting on a show in 2016!
Our garden was established late spring of 2015, by mid-summer it was thriving, and I was beyond excited!
This post was featured by several bloggers last year.

The limelight hydrangeas really put on a show last summer with their huge blooms!
The vanilla-strawberry hydrangeas were showing tinges of pink!
I am often asked what are the chartreuse-colored plants. They are sunshine ligustrums and they have thrived…love their unusual color!

Our garden was covered in six inches of snow in early December…very rare in the Deep South!
The coral bark maple looked extremely pretty in the snow!

You have me yearning for spring, Pam! You deserve to be recognized by a great magazine like Southern Lady! Thanks for the shout out!
I’ve made gardening plans in my head but need to get cracking!
Thank you sweet friend! Your garden is stunning!
Beautiful garden, Pam! Can’t wait to get my Southern Lady magazine! Congratulations! I’m planning a vegetable garden this year. We shall see!
How exciting, Karen! You will have to share with me what you decide to plant!
Sadly,I cannot have a beautiful garden,as we live in a townhouse. I have a container garden on my porch. I love seeing your garden.you are so blessed to have natures beauty around you for all the seasons. So glad you made it into Southern Lady.
Diane, container gardening brings happy to your townhouse, I am sure. We have 20 acres, and love living in the country. But it is a lot to maintain with no outside help! Happy Thursday!
I’m with you, Pam and I just can’t wait! Your gardens are exceptionally beautiful and should be featured all over! I’m so inspired by the round main garden you have. I love that it has such presence but it’s filled with really very basic plants. Love it!!
Congratulations on your Southern Lady feature. π
Thank you Stacey. I am still a novice with gardening, but it is fun and challenging to learn!
Congratulations, Pam ! Your garden is beyond gorgeous. Truly, a feast for the eyes, heart and soul!
I am looking forward to Spring. In late February, I always begin to look for the peonies. When I see them peaking through the soil, I know Spring is truly on her way.
Happy day and weekend !
Sandra, I canβt wait to see your peonies! Thank you!
Pam, I am so happy for you! How exciting to have a picture of your garden appear in Southern Lady magazine! Your flower garden is always gorgeous and certainly magazine worthy. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures with us as it is dreary and cold here this morning. These pretty flowers are the perfect pick me up. Happy Thursday, sweet friend!!!
Shannon, thank you always for your kind and thoughtful comments! Enjoy your day sweet friend!
Congratulations,Pam!Your garden is just wonderful,really heavenly!!!Your flowers are absolutely stunning…My parents and I love gardening and seeing yours always make my day! I can feel God so closer admiring a beautiful garden…My Mom has plants which were gifts from her sister and her brother who died twenty years ago!Blessings to you!
Thank you sweet Maristella! Sharing gardening with your parents is wonderful!
Your garden is beautiful any time of the year! Congrats on your photo being in the magazine.
Thank you so much Penny, just visited your lovely blog. I love meeting fellow bloggers.
Thank you for the much needed garden therapy Pam! How exciting to find yourself in a magazine! Southern Lady should make a visit to your gorgeous garden and do an entire article! The snow photo is fabulous, and that’s the kind of snow I like, one day and then it goes away π
Jenna
Jenna, you are so sweet. It was just a little photograph, but I was so excited!
What a feast for the eyes! I really enjoy your gardens. I can tell you’ve put a lot of love and work into them.
Thank you so much for visiting! Have a beautiful week~
How fun to see your photo published! You have a lovely garden and I enjoyed seeing it last year with your Gardens Galore link party! It does the heart good to review the photos and remember how beautiful it will be once again!
Thank you dear Liz! Wishing you a wonderful week!
So so glad you told us about being featured in Southern Lady. I already have my copy but missed this. Thank you for the memories of your blooming gardens. I think our souls are yearning for some warmer temps and seeing our gardens in bloom. This was a beautiful tour. Again, congratulations!
Thank you dearest Dianne! It is a cold rainy day, but spring will be here before we know it!
your pics are so beautifull Pam as much as your garden. We just need to be a little patinent, then flowers, colors and warm weather ?
Thanks so much, Spring will be here!
Go ON with your bad self, girl!!!!!!!!!!! A well-deserved accolade!!! I TRY to garden, but I’m not patient enough and hate working outside in heat. So, yeah…I’m not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination! BUT…I can live vicariously through you!!! I’ll ask my husband to pick up a copy for me. (He’ll just have to pocket his machismo or be embarrassed to buy “Southern Lady”! π If he balks, I’ll just pull the “o’ poor me on a cane can’t drive yet” card!!! Hooray for you!!!!!!! Yippeeeee!!!!! Have a fabulous weekend!!!
Alycia, your visits are always a breath of spring! Thank you so much! I hope every day is better than the day before in your recovery! You are amazing! Hugs|
Yes, Pam, I delighted in seeing both you and Michael Lee’s blogs mentioned on that page in Southern Lady! What a wonderful review of the garden it all its seasons here! If for no other reason, having the snow you got in December was definitely photo worthy. I’m looking forward to the garden awakening…..
Thank you Rita, I should have mentioned Michael Leeβs beautiful cake!
Oh boy, did I ever need this today. We had more snow mixed with rain this morning. Your beautiful garden eye candy started my day off on the right note. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you Katie, just rain here!
Congrats Pam!!!! Of course they would feature your gorgeous garden!!! I see lots of “familiar faces” there too!…Can’t wait to get my issue….looking forward to your Spring garden!
Thank you Shirley! We want to do some more landscaping.
Congratulations on being published in a favorite magazine of mine too! That’s quit a blessing.
Thank you so much Pamela!
That’s not a little thing, Pam, that’s crazy exciting – Congratulations! The pictures of your gardens are medicine for my winter weary soul.
You are so sweet Joanna!
Congratulations, Pam!! I love everything about your garden and can see why Southern Lady felt the same. I am mostly a container gardener now, as we sold our home with land to downsize a little over four years ago. I do miss my beautiful gardens but have to say all the work involved is not missed. I do, however, want a bigger yard than the one we have now once we build our final house because I do enjoy seeing things continually blooming around the yard. Hugs!
Thank you so much Bobbi! Keeping up a garden is a lot of work. We enjoy it for now! Container gardening is much easier!
How thrilling Pam! Your garden is TOTALLY magazine worthy and deserves a multiple page spread! I need to peruse my copy of SL in detail! Congratulations and thank you for the garden and flower therapy. β₯
Thank you so much, Mary!
WOW Pam! I am not surprised! You are famous! Love this. Yes, I am beginning to yearn for Spring time myself. I am ready to plant SOMETHING! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy! Hugs and blessings~
Congrats Pam! Certainly well deserved. Your garden is always breathtaking in all four seasons!! Spring is my favorite season, and I can’t wait!! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
It is a pleasure, Jann!

Thank you so much!
Such beautiful inspiration for the garden! Thank you for sharing for Friday Friends Parade!
Thank you for the opportunity to share!
What a beautiful garden! I love how you placed your statues in the center of some plants. I hope to have a garden as large and beautiful as yours someday. Thank you for sharing!
Ann, thank you so much for your visit. Happy Gardening~
