Before I get to the guest post over at The Enchanted Home....I must address another issue that has come up.

OK....let's see how to go about this. On my last post I mentioned that I saw Ryan Gainey at Scott's. Someone who commented was very upset about the remarks I made concerning him. For the record, here is how I explained it to her in an email:

I have lived in Atlanta for 20 years so I am well aware of how talented Ryan is. When I was at Scott's, I was having a conversation with another published "gardener" . We both looked up and saw Ryan and another person, at which point he saw her and came over. As the friend he was with started talking to my friend, I politely asked Him if I could take a photograph. He glanced at me and said yes, then proceeded to turn away. Famous or not, it would have taken a second to look into the camera at the very least. I realize he is "quirky", but that does not exclude bad manners does it? After a few moments, he turned to me and asked if I was a jewelry designer. It seemed so out of context as I did not even have any jewelry on except a watch and pair of earrings. I politely said no and before I could even respond further, he had already dismissed me. Which was fine, my inflated ego could handle it.

I never said that he wasn't talented. I realize I am NOT a famous blogger, or "world renowned" anything! Which was the point of the "over exaggeration". Of course, I realize some people do not appreciate nor enjoy my sense of humor. Sometimes I don't even think I am funny......but honestly, it was not intended to be mean spirited and I was certainly not making fun of someone who is disabled [in a wheelchair, etc].

Further more, I certainly did not say anything about his wonderfully talented ability to transform the earth into beautiful spaces. Or about him on a personal level. I was merely interpreting how I felt the rendezvous went from my perspective.

That said, I do have some beautiful images of his work [taken from his website] to share with you today. His 2 acre garden in Decatur, Georgia has been featured in every major gardening publication in the United States and abroad.

It goes without saying that I wish this was my backyard.

Not just a birdbath....but A. Birdbath.

Somebody is real lucky to look out their window and see this.

Love this.....

I could see myself strolling the grounds.

More gorgeousness.....

There...is everyone satisfied....of course nothing I could say on my tiny insignificant blog could affect this man's talent or worth. No matter how hard I tried.
