    Dear Phillip, Saw your garden on Photo of the Day. Congratulations on being posted there! Well deserved -- your garden is stunning. Wish I could go to the Fling, but funds are tight this year. Enjoy! P.

    Phillip, I also enjoyed seeing your garden on GPOD today. Congrats! Such a work of true garden art, through and through. I look forward to reading more about it this season!
    (I see we have lots of mutual blogging friends already.)

    And the fling will be so fab! My family and I were just in Asheville this past June already. Beautiful location.
    Julie
