![Sweet Spring Blossoms]()
Just like last year, Spring sprang early as indicated by the abundance of flowering trees we all have been enjoying for the past few weeks. It’s safe to say that Georgia has seen it’s last big freeze and, soon enough, we can enjoy our garden splendor. Hopefully, most of our early flowering garden plants survived the crazy weather we had late last month.
What better way to signal the end of winter than the bright pink, purple and white blossoms of our favorite landscape...

![We Handle With Care]()

In our garden, we incorporated the old with...

![Serviceberry Trees Cure Our Cabin Fever]()
Ever get that blah feeling in the winter when it’s too cold to go outside day in and day out, I know I do. Where I come from it is extremely common and is known as Cabin Fever. No it’s not something contagious, just a state of mind we get ourselves in. Cabin Fever occurs when people accustomed to spending a lot of time outdoors are forced inside by cold weather conditions. Relief does not come until we are once again able to enjoy our time outside. I believe that...
