Where Flowers Grow, Memories Bloom

Grandma Cooper never believed in doing anything halfway. If she planted a vegetable garden, you could be sure there would be rows of tomatoes standing proud, beans climbing faithfully, and peppers soaking in the sun like they had nowhere else to be. But what some folks didn’t always see—what felt just as important to her—was the flower garden. It sat just beyond the vegetables, as if it knew its…

Grandma Cooper’s Garden The Canning Days

Can you handle just one more garden story? I promise, it’s the last one. As I was reminiscing about Grandma Cooper’s garden, I found myself smiling at a memory I had almost forgotten. Grandma was full of little tricks and wisdom, some practical, some… well, a little questionable. Take, for example, her yellow plate trick.

While visiting Fredericksburg, Virginia, last fall, I had an opportunity to speak at the Geri Melchers Home and Studio. After my talk, I simply could not leave before supporting the gift shop. This 2.5-inch little vase whispered my name. I imagined the whispered words saying..there will be that singular branch, that subtle bloom with fragrance to be embraced up close and personal. A small vase, to be tucked almost anywhere, would be perfect...and here I am. So here it is. I actually revisited Fredericksburg, my old hometown at one time, to purchase another one. They were out of stock. I know now that when I hear the whisper, I will pay attention. Sitting here, smelling the sprigs of rosemary, I am reminded of the huge rosemary that used to be on Princess Anne Street. Brushing by, intentionally touching it, made me feel so good. I still intentionally brush by the rosemary in my garden, a purchase from Roxbury Mills...remember that nursery? Rosemary is the herb of love and remembrance. I still love Fredericksburg, and I remember so much of my time embracing the city. Do you have botanicals that make you smile as you revisit the memories? #allaboutthegardenlife, #allthingsbeautiful #gardenmemories #Fredericksburg #gardengoodness #rosemary, #tinyvasesareadorable (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9_e37uOTf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Basil is one of my favourite herbs. The smell is so nostalgic to childhood for me...what comes to mind when you think of Basil? #nostalgia #nostalgicsmells #childhoodmemories #gardenmemories #childhood #smellsfabulous #basil #basilfawlty #chelston #fawltytowers #basilgrowers (at Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvxFNGA1IL/?igshid=152l64zv75vrw
