Pink Dogwood

This is in Henry and Tere's garden: Aji's pink Dogwood. Tere planted it for her mother, Aji, who loved being in our mountains. She would sit in a rocker on the porch from morning until night, enjoying her surroundings. Tere had to beg her to come inside to go to bed.
You can see a white and a pink Dogwood in Judy and David's yard as you come up the hill. So pretty!!!!
If you decide to plant a Dogwood in your yard, do it soon. Spring and Fall are the best times to plant trees. Jon and I just planted 3 white Dogwoods and 2 Redbuds in the orchard. We got them at Nelson's Ace Hardware in Blairsville. They have beautiful trees, and competitive prices.
When we moved here, Momma would ask me what I wanted for my birthday, and every year I said, "Trees for the orchard." We have planted lots of fruit trees, and now these beautiful flowering trees, feeding our bodies and our souls.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
