Our Amazing Garden

It hasn’t felt much like Spring is coming around here lately, but this morning I noticed that my patch of daffodils next to my driveway is starting to come up.  That was very heartening for me.  Of course, I still have a lot to do in my garden before the weather starts to turn, but I can’t wait for the growing season to get rolling.  The worst part about a gardening hobby (addiction?) is not being able to do it part of the year.  Planning your upcoming plantings helps a great deal, and looking through garden pictures helps some with that seasonal impatience, I find.  Of course I’ve looked through most of my own garden pictures several times already this winter, and I’ve just about worn through my gardening catalogs and magazines.  I find myself searching online for pictures.  I love finding pics of gardens from other parts of the world, but one of my favorite online picture collections is from quite a bit closer to home.  It’s our Wayside Gardens Flickr collection, where several members of our team here at our Greenwood nursery post garden pictures that we’ve taken.  Some of these great pictures are from our gardens at home, but most of them are from our showcase garden, which is just about fifty feet from my office.  It’s open to the public, and during the spring and summer it’s one of the most spectacular gardens in the Southeast.  If you get a chance to visit us in Greenwood, South Carolina, we’d love to have you come stroll through our gardens and garden center.  Until then, cruise over to our little collection of garden photos at Flickr.
