My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Met another GWer today Nova

14 years ago

Hi All,

Had to share that through the exchange portion of Florida Gardening I drove to Ocala to meet Susan (aka Nova) and her husband David. Susan had some Louisiana Iris to share so I took my kids for a little day trip.

I tend to be a little defensive when meeting strangers, especially at my home ( a little uptight) and always amazed on how welcoming people can be. Thank you Susan and David for your hospitality today. What a treat it was to see your lovely garden,artwork and meeting the both of you. You made our day, it was just so neat to see all your beautiful blooms and to learn so much in such a short time. The cuttings transport really well when sitting in water..........won't forget that soon!

With Susan's permission I'm going to share some images I took during my visit today, I hope y'all enjoy them as much as I did.

My wife loved your "leaf stones" and I will call you about them as soon as I get feedback from MIL.

Darren
