Home Comforts

The soil is the great connector of our lives, the source, and destination of all. -Wendell Berry

Hello Shady Ladies! Though the world has started to open up again, I suspect most of us are still sticking close to home. Covid-19 is still present and we are all trying to be mindful about our interactions with others, mitigating risk to ourselves and our fellow citizens whenever possible. Fortunately, gardening and other horticultural pursuits are keeping us busy. Sara Bowers, one of our most active members, has challenged herself to create a floral design each week using things from her own garden. This weeks she shares two really wonderful designs with us. The first is a low profile design of one gladiolus stem with hosta leaves in a container given to her by Phyllis Stamm.  The second is made from a garlic bloom and gladiolus foliage. What can you create with plants in your garden?

Stay safe and keep digging!
