I’m no gardener. I have managed to keep four small succulents alive for two years so I might have a green pinkie, but my thumb is more of a dark purple color.
There is a place I go in Tallahassee, though, where I can pretend I’m a gardening gal. I wander about, pulling a flat cart for my purchases even though I know if I buy anything at all it’ll be an item from the gift shop or maybe just another cactus.
The place is Tallahassee Nursery, and all of my gardening dreams come alive there. I have a fantasy in which I get myself locked in at night. I’d have a picnic and a bottle of wine in front of the gift shop cottage and then roam the grounds until midnight when I’d tuck myself into a hammock and drift away beneath the stars. It’s a lovely fantasy.
Alas, I didn’t manage to get locked in, but I took photos of the place so I can daydream from home.
I adore this place even if they won’t let me spend the night.
Peace, people.

How about we meet up there and have a book club meeting when your new book is published. See if the owners will rent it out. I suppose we could sneak in…then we can bring our own wine. 😉The place is enchanting!

Oooh! I like that idea. Occasionally in the summer months they host get togethers in the evening. Musicians stroll around, food trucks are there, and a local brewery sets up a booth.

It’s probably a good thing I don’t have anything like this close to me, I’d be broke in an hour.
