janwax's blog: Connecting with gardeners

Posted on Jun 19, 2014 11:38 AM

Hello. I probably shouldn't be taking on anything else, like a gardening blog, but I'd like to become part of this community of gardeners.
I'm in my 70's and still work most every day as a studio potter - making dinnerware, planters, and basic shapes for my husband to add his sculptures.
Here's an example of what we do:

We market our work at local galleries and juried art shows.

We bought our land 28 years ago and we're so glad we did! This valley has since become a desirable place for vineyards,
and the price per acre has increased tremendously.
Because we work at home, we also are the caregivers for my 98 year old mother.


As you may see , I have a very busy life. What I've found this year is that my flower garden keeps me sane. (my husband has his vegetable garden that feeds us). When life gets
too stressful, I walk out into the garden to see what's blooming - the irises, the peonies, the dahlias, and now I'm adding to the day lilies. Their beauty fills me with joy. I'm happy to have found the All Things Plants site.
