Felder Rushing: Quintessential gifts for gardeners - Jackson Clarion Ledger
Tuesday, December 20, 2016They’re small, perfectly apt things that all gardeners actually appreciate having.Not garden-related, but be sure to hit your seasonal zany spot: I’m traveling this afternoon to the Hattiesburg Zoo, where at 6:30 there will be a lively presentation of traditional and contemporary carols by a loosely organized group who belong to an international organization called Christmas Tuba. Google it. Some 40 tuba players from Mississippi and Alabama playing carols. Should be quite cheery. Hope to see you there!Email Felder Rushing at rushingfelder@yahoo.com. Weekend garden tipsMagnolia leaves and sweet gum balls are perfect, entirely Southern additions to wreaths and swags. They can be stapled to wooden posts and of course spray-painted silver or gold, or glittered or frosted. If you are storing up wood for next week’s solstice fire celebrations, look for that which has been stacked in a dry place for a couple of months or more, which “cures” it and makes it burn hotter with a lot less smoke.2017 TRAVEL PICKS: Travel columnist Ben Williams on his top destinationsRead or Share this story: http://on.thec-l.com/2hOdOyR... http://www.clarionledger.com/story/magnolia/habitat/2016/12/16/felder-rushing-quintessential-gifts-gardeners/95429838/

Monday, August 24, 2020Vancouver resident has been bringing a little island charm to her quiet Lynn Valley street.

Instead, Klausen has opted for an honour-system model. Passersby are encouraged to grab a bouquet and either e-transfer her $10 or pop the cash into a paper bag next to the cart.
