Ready for some sunny days

Pretty spring day
So much to ahh about. Look. Like. Look some more. Pick a nice day to stroll friendly neighborhood nursery Ballantyne Gardens is a rite of spring for my dear wife Karen and I. Pond, too. Finally, though, we made a decision on just two for this trip. I’ll show you them in our yard in…
What goes good here
Good choices. In case we were wondering, owners Lisa and Tim make it easy for strollers through their friendly neighborhood nursery Ballantyne Gardens to decide what to bring home. We like to look things over and discuss what would go best where, of course. And I like to admire how they set things up in…

Browsing at Ballantyne Gardens
Maybe next season … My dear wife Karen and I happily visited our Liverpool neighbors at Ballantyne Gardens for this year’s crop of annuals. We quickly spotted some Gerbera Daisies and more, but of course wandered here and there to admire Tim and Lisa Ballantyne’s wonderful 2023 collection. Will look good in the ground. Terrific…
We take our annual visit to Ballantyne Gardens
My dear wife Karen needs to dig in the dirt each spring. This year’s trying times brought challenges past several planned transplants in hopes of better blooming.
