Hi GPODers!
Yesterday we saw a lush garden in Pittsburgh, PA and today we are staying in the Keystone State, but heading east to revisit a historic house we’ve seen a few times before. JoJo has shared photos of her mother’s incredible home and gardens (check out previous submissions: A Garden Around a 280-Year-Old Home, The Secret Garden, An Artist’s Garden Containers) as well as her own charming container garden (Jojo’s Lancaster Garden), and today we get an update from a garden party her mom through this past spring.

The lion’s head water fountain is an instant focal point, but my eyes were drawn to the funky little bee homes called skep hives. These were some of the first human-made bee hives, created for early beekeeping. It looks like Tina is only using them for decor, which is for the best. It is obviously much more

How to Grow Catnip in the Garden and Indoors
My cat has a felt taco cat toy that was scented with catnip a few years ago and she still goes squirrelly whenver I pull it out to give to her.
