So many gardeners and gardens to be thankful for!

Today I want to send an enormous heartfelt thank you to the generous gardeners who shared their gardens with us this year. From golf in Baltimore to waterside on the lower Eastern Shore and everywhere in between, you have shared the magic of your gardens while making a difference in our world with native plants.
Here are just a few of the gardens, in case you missed them:
And like these gardeners, our native gardens just keep on giving. This flower bouquet just came out of my 1/8 acre urban garden.
Wishing you a peaceful holiday with time to step out into the great outdoors!
Happy Gardening.



























Thank you, Shari, for featuring so many beautiful gardens. I'm thrilled to be included. At this time of year it can be hard to remember how pretty native plants are when they're blooming. And it's especially lovely to see the variety of gardens around the area. One benefit we see now to growing native is the number of birds who feed on the seed heads I've left up. We had loads of pollinators all summer, and now we have a variety of resident and migratory birds chowing down. And the ducks still come to the birdbath (we keep it heated all winter long)! Pat
Thank you for making this blog and sharing so much great information!
That is a gorgeous bouquet! And more special because it comes from YOUR gardens! Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! Thank you for all the joy and knowledge you've shared with us!
FABULOUS Bouquet! Thank you for giving us this inspiring blog each and every week all year long.
I am thankful for you, Shari. Thursday mornings are special because of your thoughtful messages. Here's to native gardens! May they prosper!
