More and more I am finding that people are becoming more involved in gardening. Years back when I began landscaping. I can remember many smirks and side comments from individuals that thought this was only a woman’s hobby. Gardening is for males and females alike! Some of the greatest hybridizers and flower professionals have been men. It is fun to observe couples when they come to Perennial Paradise.
It seems that often people are drawn to the Phlox perennial plants as they offer an intense beauty that is impossible to go unnoticed. When the spouse sees this excitement, there seems to be a commonality that is establshed between the two of them. It is as if they both now relate to the goal of enhancing their yard. This excitement creates an openness to learn and share with each other. It isn’t long before both partners are throwing out ideas of this and that. Something shared is something gained! Sometimes finding similar interests between two partners is difficult, but gardening seems to offer many opportunities for partners to work together.
Both my parents are very creative. My mother is a grand chef and can make almost anything from pretzels to grand meals. She is patient and often times I have come home to learn how to make bread, or sit down and learn from her techniques of making this and that. She also is does needle work pictures. These creations sometimes take from 800-1000 hours. Each of her children have some of these creations in our homes. I personally could not sit down and put the hours of expertise into such a fabulous creation. My father as well, an architect/contractor built many many very beautiful building during his construction era. Now in his retirement he is head over heels into stain glass works and wow can has he ever creatived some exotic but beautiful glass works.
I have learned from the best. I look to my parents often for their insight on being creative and take their wisdom and try to apply it in my own life. What a wealth of resources to have parents that are so determined and creative. How lucky I am!
When I was young, I used to garden with my mother as I got older I worked with one of my fathers employees from Japan. We did not communicate all that well due to the language barrier but I shall never forget the things that man taught me about landscaping.
Now much older, I have such an enthusiastic appreciation for being creative and desire to keep creating till I can’t any more. All things around us were creations of an inventor or a person that had the diligence to see his vision come true. I have many visions. Perennial Paradise is one of them. I desire to help customers that come to Perennial Paradise develop a creative streak that will allow them to see vsions as well. I am here to help you achieve that!

Gardening is my favorite activity with my wife and kids, It’s our special moment to bond. I admire your mom for knowing a lot of crafts. She is indeed a wonderful person.
I share you love for gardening! i have been taking so many pic of my garden lately i have to get new sd cards
Great article. My husband and I were considering doing a whole garden/stone landscape in front of our home, but were hesitant about it. Yo ujust convinced me to jump in and explore my creativity.
I couldn’t agree more with your sentiments! Me and my partner are very much an ‘opposites attract’ kind of couple. But I tell you, when it comes to our garden – our pride and joy – there is this unspoken meeting ground and duality! Lol. It’s almost scary how much we think alike on this matter.
Anyway, interesting blog, looking forward to reading more. I particularly enjoyed your flower pictures
Cheers,
Pembroke Adams.
