Mr Ashton with his contribution for the Garden Glow at Ladew last night. Ashton Design did graphics for the Butterfly House ... thus a flutterby faced pumpkin was alight and part of the paths and fields filled with glowing gords and many lit enchanting things. I love the “creatures of the night” room with its varied bugs and esp. the tiny owl, screech I think, not something you get to see, thought heard one the other night, amazing trill. Kudos to David and the designers at AD for their contribution to a great event (believe they created event logo too)... — feeling festive at Ladew Topiary Gardens.

The “girls” approved of the new lemon cypress topiary I got from @starbrightfarm at their barn sale last weekend! I also haven’t taken off your garden apron—it’s perfect for painters too! Love, love, love the new apron you designed with the pruner holster, so cool! See you tomorrow at the @ladewgardens Garden Festival! #livingwithchickens #chickensofinstagram #starbrightfarm #gentlefarm
Setting up for tomorrow’s Barn Sale. #starbrightfarm
Forced seems a tad harsh, let’s say I coaxed this bulb .... nudged the narcissus from it’s slumber...the hungry winter heart will find a way. Damselfly & bee supply the buzz of warmer days. #botanical #watercolor #naturalista #narcissus #damselfly #bee #honeybee #flowers #flowerdots #forcedbulbs #bulbs #sttimothyschool #twinrockerpaper #calligraphy #walnutink
