I do go to the historic plant center all the time though, since they've got great stuff you just can't find elsewhere. <BR/><BR/>This year they even had the native (and fragrant) Carolina rose! It's not an easy plant to find, even at most native nurseries.Tree hugginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18269999808226336464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31740546874472774.post-23576959363609984762007-08-18T23:59:00.000-04:002007-08-18T23:59:00.000-04:00Thanks for the Texas garden info.

It's an inspiration I return to again and again. <BR/><BR/>Peckerwood's praises have been sung by Tom Spencer at Soul of the Garden, and it's on my list of gardens to visit. Unfortunately, it's only open to the public a couple of times a year, and children younger than 12 (I think that's the cutoff) are not allowed---for the plants' protection, they say. Hmmm. Well, that's made it very difficult for this mom to make the day trip to see it. Maybe in a few years when the kids are "old enough" to look at the plants, I'll go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31740546874472774.post-67848007287676449562007-08-18T15:08:00.000-04:002007-08-18T15:08:00.000-04:00I'm so glad you ladies like the recommendation!

Perhaps not, if the author's taste is strictly lush England/New England style . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31740546874472774.post-42840426355489271152007-08-18T12:19:00.000-04:002007-08-18T12:19:00.000-04:00A wonderful book recommendation!
