Garden Parties & Friends

 Chris VanCleave, The Redneck Rosarian
One of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
He makes me want to grow better roses, and he will inspire you too.
Chris also is the host of #rosechat on Twitter.

Bren Haas of BG Garden
Okay, I am a big talker, but Bren can keep up with me and then some!
But the good thing is.... she knows what she is talking about and that is gardening.
We are garden sisters of the heart...  She is a country girl that loves her family, fur babies and plants.
That's right up my alley, I bet it is your too!
Bren also is the host of #gardenchat on Twitter

Teresa Byington of The Garden Diary
Teresa is my neighbor to the north, another Indiana gardener that loves roses
to the tune of over 90 varieties of them!  She pours her heart into her garden and
graciously shares the beauty with her readers.  I promise I will go up and visit her as
soon as I can and she is hopefully going to make it down to our place soon too.
Teresa is also a co-host of #rosechat on Twitter.

Dee Nash of Red Dirt Ramblings
I have told Dee, she is the one who taught me how to blog.
I love how natural her garden writing flows.  She makes it seem like you
are just out in her garden with her, enjoying a little tour.  That is what all
garden writing should be, fun and informative, and welcoming.
I'm glad to call her a friend.

A great way to meet more friends online is to participate in weekly parties.
