Nature's Treasures

My mother's gardens are lovely. They encompass 3 acres in Upstate NY and benefit from all four seasons. Even through long and bitterly cold winters, the bulbs lie dormant, resting in preparation for their "coming out" party in Spring. Blooms continually present themselves for three of the four seasons providing pops of color against the lush, green backdrop. Growing up my mother did not have the benefit of staying in one home. Instead her family had to move from one rental property to another throughout her childhood. I think that is why it was so important that she and my father provide us children with one home. A stability to provide us with roots to grow.
