Critical

Some of my clients are unnecessarily critical of their own garden. They only notice the things that have failed, are not tall or prolific enough, have not quite lived up to expectation. This is not unusual, we often see the weeds before the flowers in our own gardens and the contrary in others. Sometimes we should just stand back and, even if we need to squint just a little, appreciate the beauty that we have had a hand in creating.

Last week, I was playing the usual game of hide and seek with Welsh Ann. Come to think of it, on the whole, she hides from me and I hunt for her. Should I be reading something into this? As my search progressed, I walked under the car port that separates front from back and was greeted with this wonderful display. I thought “how lovely” and “this should be shared”. And so I have. It is very beautiful. You have done a fine job, WA!

  1. Brent, my colleague who I so regularly deride, is a landscape designer. I am a nurseryman. Also, Brent is an idiot and I am a horticulturist. He actually invites me to some of his projects. He deserves what he gets.
