		<description><![CDATA[I think trees should pull their own weight in the garden, don’t you? I mean, it’s all well and good to be tall and green, providing all shorts of cooling shade and places for the bugs and birds. But if you can do tricks, like make berries and flowers to brighten things up a bit, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some days it&#8217;s just tougher than others to transition from the garden back to work. Like today. Today is a very bad transition day. The Whining Part&#8230; I had a great gardening weekend, but there are still about 20 things on my &#8220;to do&#8221; list that did not get accomplished. As a result, I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to be afraid to cut the flowers in my garden to bring indoors. It was a classic case of flower fear. Other people, I have heard, experience the same phenomenon. It is the fear that if you cut the flowers in your garden, it will take away from the outdoor beauty. Who wants [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the risk of flogging a dead horse (a hideous expression, don&#8217;t you think?)&#8230; I want to make an appeal to those well-meaning but misguided folks who assemble the bouquets at our corner florist shops. And I especially appeal to the corporate creative department at FTD, which fuels and/or dictates much of the design aesthetics [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After viewing the exuberant displays of flowers, plants, containers and hardscaping&#8230; &#8230;the visitors to the Philadelphia Flower Show were practically foaming at the mouth in the vendor area. I have never seen so many women carrying around bunches of pussy willow in my whole life. They looked like some sort of bizarre religious procession with [...]]]></description>

Our guide was a charming older [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are flower arrangements and then there are flower arrangements. Personally, I detest the overly-colorful and tightly packed arrangements that I associate with almost anything you can order through FTD. I have finally trained my husband to get a bunch of fresh flowers from the florist&#8211;or even the grocer&#8211;that I can arrange at home in [...]]]></description>
