Gardening Accents at the Daphne Antique Galleria

Gardening 101

I heard a story once about creation. The devil approaches God and says, “I can create a Garden of Eden just as easy as you can!” God says, “Ok, show me.” So the devil starts to gather his materials. God interrupts him and says, “Oh no, wait just a minute! You have to get your own dirt!”

Get Your Own Dirt

At the Daphne Antique Galleria, we have almost everything you need to create your own “Eden”. But, you will have to get your own dirt. 😉 Here are a few examples of how to add the Spirit of Loveliness to your garden. And you can find everything in the mall.

I’ll leave you with a few chuckles found on Garden Digest:

  • When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.  If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
  • Wanted:  Man to take care of cow that does not smoke or drink.
  • “The best way to garden is to put on a wide-brimmed straw hat and some old clothes.  And with a hoe in one hand and a cold drink in the other, tell somebody else where to dig.”
    –  Texas Bix Bender, Don’t Throw in the Trowel  
  • God made rainy days, so gardeners could get the housework done.
  • How do you know you are a Master Gardener?
    There is a decorative compost container on your kitchen counter.
    You would rather go to a nursery to shop than a clothing store.
    You prefer gardening to watching television.
    You plan vacation trips to arboretums and public parks.
    Dirt under your fingernails and calloused palms are matters of pride.

While sipping your sweet tea in your porch rocker, whisper a plea to THE MASTER GARDENER to bless your garden.  What better garden accent than a blessing from heaven!
