It’s hard to believe that this will be the 6^th year for that great summer gardening series, Lunch and Learn, which begins Saturday, April 16th in the Gazebo at the Port Royal Farmers’ Market , and continues each Saturday until September 10^th. This award winning series of classes, workshops and lectures is free to the public and no registration is required.

More Movement, Less Fear, More Happiness

A client recently told me that one of her friends is thinking of joining local a training facility, but the friend is afraid that she won’t be able to keep up. She worries that her body is too out of shape to get started. She has had a myriad of health concerns and is only in her 30s, but her fear of an exercise program is greater than her health fears at this point. Her fear of exercise is not uncommon, but it is an attitude that I would like to address.

Sometimes you just need a graceful vertical element in your garden. A well placed vine can be used as a focal point or perhaps to screen something unsightly. Caution and careful planning are the watchwords however; you don't want to deal with something like Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors.
