Gardening and yard work are in full swing at the Emory house, so this week's
Friday Faves is full of flowers and nature and Spring.
GROUP WORTH JOINING
Lazy Girl's Garden Club
My friend, Kelly, started this club for those of us who don't want to put a lot of effort into our gardening, but want beautiful flowers in our yards. My zinnias were beautiful last year.
JOIN THE CLUB

BOOK WORTH READING
‘
The Home Place'

A beautifully written memoir that enriched my love for plants, trees, flowers, and wildlife.

Being in nature is one of the ways that I connect meaningfully with God.
Although I knew this to be true int
uitively,
this book
helped me
to put words to my awareness.
ARTICLE WORTH READING
‘
Pruning 101'
by Gardening with Charla
Years ago I mistakenly trusted that the gardeners would know the right way to prune and shape our arborvitae trees. So, now I always do my homework before pruning.
READ IT HERE
Look in the comments of this article and you''ll see Charla's instructions for how to clean, sanitize, and oil pruning shears and loppers. She guided me to these inexpensive
shears
, which I love!
WOMAN WORTH FOLLOWING
Steph Green
Last year I started creating decorative seasonal scenes on our front deck. Each time that I start designing a new one I head straight to Steph for inspiration and ideas. She truly is the container garden expert.
FOLLOW StePH
I've found some wonderful vintage containers, pots, and decorative ves
sels from
this marketplace
.
