OK, here you go!: http://tinyurl.com/ya45zje

And for those readers whom I KNOW are thinking I’m an awful person, I’d like to point out the vast majority of souvenir gator heads are harvested sustainably and humanely, as icky as that idea may be.

Don’t pay a lot for those alligator heads! You can seriously get them for a dime a dozen at souvenir shops all along the Gulf Coast. So I take it you think we’re going to have to get some for our New Orleans gardens, eh? They’re awesome, but I think they might not QUITE work in my garden. I think I am going to use the pearls cascading everywhere, though. That’s a really good alternative to Spanish moss, which obviously isn’t hardy here and which I’m just not content to grow as a houseplant to bring indoors.

Michelle, I can’t believe I missed meeting you! Pooh. We will have to rectify this in the future. I’m kind of with you on the World without Garden–I understood why the judges chose it, but it wasn’t my favorite. I brought my niece to the show today and she said, “It’s not really doing anything for me, but it’s a bold move to design a garden that kind of looks bad.” Need we say more?

Enthusiastic commentary !
I loved the Creole Jazz garden the best. So much attention to detail.
Organic Mechanics never fails to inspire and create innovative designs.
I was bored to tears with the World without Garden. Seems like the judges were smitten with the seriously mundane. Blah. Give me some creative indulgence please.
Now I have to share the cup ( I won in 2008) with a boring weed infested non colorful armadillo crazed non garden.
Blah.

Thanks, Rama! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the pics and posts.

Rebecca, I think I found an alligator head. I have to travel to the Florida Everglades and meet up with a guy named Mr. Big, but for 5 benjamins, it’s mine, baby! ; )

I can vouch for Jenny loving the Creole garden…she’s been online all morning trying to find ‘alligator heads’ on Craigs List….
