From each and every gentle breeze that blows through the blossoms here at Broccoli Hall… it is the divine work of the flower fairies… Many thanks and much gratitude.

I love how you welcomed the wild rose and trained it. I love everything else too, and thank you for so many beautiful ideas that made their way into my gardens over the years.

Your garden stirred my soul and my imagination. Every “turn” gave me “Oh, I love this shape or I want that in my garden!” Thank you, thank you.

The garden is gorgeous—flowers, colors all magnificent. We especially loved the large Tennessee ferns.

The old garden roses were a special treat.

Oh my goodness, I could not have been more inspired by your gardens! I am a fan of so much of what you have created, but the lasting impression is your rustic gates and arbors. I am blessed with access to our town trash “dump” and I regularly find beautiful wood that I’ve been storing. I cannot wait to use your work to inspire my own!
