I grew up in the gardens. My mother and father sculpted stunning gardens in our modest 1/4 acre lot. The weekends were spent browsing the nurseries for a new species to fill in a vacant space in the yard. Naturally I grew up with a green thumb and a dorky desire to get my hands in the dirt. One of my few favorite flowers is the Peony. As soon as I had my very own gardens 7 years ago, one of the first things I did was order a bunch of Peonies. I have watched them fill out over the years and now they are finally plentiful enough that I can cut some without taking away from their beauty in the garden.
