    I think those pink hives of yours would be perfect! I would love to see this too. Wouldn’t it be great if they did do a victory garden, use all volunteer work, and maybe it would cost a billion dollars!

    awww i knew what you meant karen!lol i believe the same thing. i think organic farming groups, beekeeper groups, local gardening groups etc etc would all feel honor to donate time and resources to make the white house lawn a victory garden! i know i would love to pitch in a couple days a year, especially if there was a chance to meet our new first family, who i personally am just crazy about! hugs to you hon

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
