My mother was a gardener through and through. She was a "plant whisperer" in her very heart of hearts. She not only gardened for necessity but because she loved flowers. A few of her favorites were Gloxinia, African Violets, Peach trees, rhubarb, asparagus, and mint. She also had a big collection of Amarylis.I wanted to use this picture because it is as I remember her happiest --going and coming from the garden or working in the yard. I didn't remember that she was holding radishes. But...just look at that!!
What a nice tribute to your Mom! Enjoy the day! -Jackie

ReplyDeleteMy sister and I always celebrate Mother's Day with a trip to the garden centre -- in memory of our mum, who was also a gardener. Lovely sentiment.

ReplyDeleteI love it! We learn so much from them
ReplyDeleteI think one of the best thing that a mother can give to her children is love for gardening. What would we do without this mother's gift? Thank you for sharing your Mom's image with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tribute to your gardener mother. My mother was not a gardener, but I learned from my grandmother.~~Dee
