A former special education teacher and breast cancer survivor. I am blessed to be able to garden, both indoors and outdoors. Just as each child is different and has a unique contribution to offer, I have found that each flower is different and has a unique gift to offer if we are willing to look for it and accept it's gift.

Re: Win a copy of Designer Plant Combinations!

The book sounds like a wonderful addition to my plant "library". I love gardening and planting flowers has always been my favorite. I get many ideas by browsing garden books, but my best ideas have come by deciding the colors that I love in plants that grow well in my area. I group them first by size,color,and end the garden plan with beautiful groundcover. I have to admit that "pink" has become my favorite plant color since I have become a breast cancer survivor! Many of my gardens were limited to indoor containers until I was able to build my strength enough to work outside. A flower, much like LIFE, is a gift, so be sure to enjoy each one!
