| Pretty Much Picasso - LOVE that green edge! |
Well, it’s finally happened! My dreams of becoming a
national spokeswoman have come true and I am now an official garden guru for
Proven Winners! To be honest, I have been a proven winners girl for awhile (just
don’t tell the head honchos at PW), so it seemed like a natural fit when they
asked me to contribute to their website and blog.
Perhaps we might seem like strange bedfellows – a nice, veggie
girl like me and a company that prides itself on its ornamental plants – but my
garden does extend beyond the realm of edibles you know (not that you can tell
that from most of my blog posts!). In recent years, I have become rather
obsessed with their awesome line of hydrangeas, as well as their container
plants like ‘Pretty Much Picasso’ Supertunia and ‘Diamond Frost’ Euphorbia.
And no, this doesn’t mean that I have to go to garden shows
and drape myself alluringly (Is that a word? Maybe I should say dramatically?)
over the newly introduced plants like a model at a car show. Although, that
does sound rather fun! Instead, it just means that I get to ‘test-drive’
(sorry, another car reference) a wide variety of new plants and introduce my
favourites to you!
I’d also like to invite you to check out the blogs of my
fellow garden guru’s who are also contributing to the proven winners site at www.provenwinners.com.. I’m thrilled to
be associated with these talented writers and am looking forward to following
their gardening adventures as well!
Cheers!
How exciting and congratulations - now it's my turn to be envious. Sadly we don't have the Proven Winners brand this side of the pond, though we can get most of the plants they feature. Will be looking out for your posts.
ReplyDeleteEuphorbia 'Diamond Frost' is a recent discovery - it's a fabulous plant :)
Thanks VP! You're so right about Diamond Frost! I also like Lobularia 'Snow Princess'.. it blooms forever and even though it's early Dec, my plants are still going strong!
ReplyDeleteStrictly a veg nut myself, but congratulations to you.
ReplyDelete...and looking forward to lots of alluring pics!
Congrats~!!! lovely..Yes, know you have been a Proven Winners girl for a long time so this is just icing on the cake.
ReplyDeletePretty Much Picasso is pretty awesome.
Niki! So love being co-guru with you!! Congrats, girl. Hey, I too, completely dig edibles. But I find the line blurring for me between my gardens. I am as likely to plant a beautiful PW spirea in the middle of my veggie garden as I am to plant strawberries underneath Echinacea. So I say, good bedfellows! Great getting to know you. Laura
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Niki! I'm looking forward to growing with you and to reading your forthcoming book.
