Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
My clever sister-in-law, married to my farmer brother, picked some of this cotton for a fun turkey container for our annual feast down on the farm. Labels: 365 Days of Container Gardening

"Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of traveling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell "The Essential Earthman" I work as the Floriculture Director for Landscape Services, Inc. My job includes designing and planting semi-annually hundreds of annual beds containers and garden beds for commercial development, neighborhoods, and residents requesting our horticulture services. I love my job and the opportunity to bring beauty to our local communities. Most of all, I love introducing new plant material to the average gardener, and to helping them find success in their own gardens.

How creative. Have a great visit! Bev
Thanks Bev for stopping by the blog! This was my sister-in-law's handiwork. I'd hoped to get some cotton to bring home but my brother harvested early this year. He and other farmers are working together to help each other to harvest so he chose the early harvest. I need to get him to save me some cotton branches next year!
