Product Information

I’ve talked before about how being outside and working in the dirt can help lower anxiety, just as I’ve mentioned how our recent gardening impulses are probably due to us all toppling down toward the base of the pyramid that is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul.” ― Luther Burbank When I spot another sign that says ‘buy three, get one free’, I’m a lost cause completely and I’ve now graduated from a basket to a trolley. All you need to do is get in touch and then send me some photos of your garden, maybe some measurements too (if necessary) and we can have a chat over the phone, or a FaceTime / Skype / Messenger / WhatsApp, so I can take your garden design brief. And if you’re wifi stretches out into the garden, you could even give me a virtual tour of it!!

Do this to your garden as well. Visualize what you want it to look like, and try to reach that every day. Remember that there will be many tomorrows before that garden can be realized, and as the saying goes- to plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. I know investing in your garden might be the last thing on your mind right now, but if after the coming weeks… months… you decide to treat this time as a good opportunity to breathe new creative, nurturing ideas into you garden - then please do get in touch. So what? Even if we were to lose everything, we have a garden, we can grow potatoes and eat them.” — Audrey Hepburn (Audrey at Home: Memories of my Mother’s Kitchen) Gardening also played a role in Hepburn's other passions, such as fashion and style. She once said, "To be beautiful in the eyes of others, you need to be authentic in your own eyes." Gardening allowed her to express her authentic self through the beauty and creativity of her garden. She often incorporated flowers and plants from her garden into her fashion and style choices, creating a seamless connection between her passions. Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” ― Robert Louis Stevenson

If you’re not familiar with Audrey Hepburn, she was a huge star in the Golden Age of Hollywood. She starred in critically acclaimed films such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Sabrina. She was also a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF and regarded as a fashion icon. For a woman with an outstanding reputation, her true joys were in simple pleasures in life. She loved to garden, and wherever she lived she’d plant a garden. She loved them so much in fact she’s quoted as saying: By the time I’ve reached the register, I have added several bags of crocuses, a few mini irises and two more bags of snowdrops.

Think about the future- your aspirations, and goals. Now think about the small steps you can take to get you to that point. It may seem hard at first but try to do small increments each day. Sooner or later, you’ll surely get the fruits of your labor. It can lead to a merrier, more contented you. Ever since Eden, the garden has been a symbol of heaven on earth.” — Audrey Hepburn (Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn) At Natchez Glen House, we share Hepburn's love of gardening and believe that it is not only a form of self-expression but also a way to connect with the natural world. Our gardens are designed to inspire creativity and imagination, just as Hepburn's fashion and style choices did for so many. We take pride in selecting the most beautiful and artful plants for our merch boxes, and we believe that each plant is a work of art in its own right. It could be a single tomato plant in a pot, a planter full of herbs, or more complicated such as a small raised or elevated bed, or a large garden plot. I start with the crocus. With visions of a carpet of purple, yellow and white flowers among the grass, I start to make holes in the lawn to pop them in. Just a note to myself and anyone thinking of doing this: it helps if you mow the grass quite short first. It’s no joke making 100 holes in your lawn when the grass is long.Throughout her life, Hepburn found solace in gardening. It was a way for her to escape the pressures of fame and connect with nature. She often spoke about the beauty and peace that came with gardening, and how it allowed her to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life. Till now, Trees were acting like a parent to us. It can be under stood by the way they help us as “Helping Hands…….” Now it’s time to take care these parents by becoming “Parent of Trees”.

Planting a garden of any sort symbolizes hope. Hope for tomorrow. Hope that something beautiful is about to happen.” ― Julie Levine ( optionb.org) Whilst we can’t meet in the flesh, I can still offer my design services, but in a more virtual way! Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.” ― Henry David ThoreauBy March, I’m reminding myself that I have space for a few more daffodils in that corner – or that I must get some pink tulips to add to the array of red and yellow. And then I forget what and where I need to plant them until September or October, when I make a trip to the garden centre. Gardening is the greatest tonic and therapy a human being can have. Even if you have only a tiny piece of earth, you can create something beautiful, which we all have a great need for. If we begin by respecting plants, it’s inevitable we’ll respect people.” — Audrey Hepburn Audrey Hepburn once said, "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow." This quote beautifully captures the essence of gardening as a hopeful art form. Hepburn was not only known for her acting talents, but also for her impeccable style and fashion sense. What many may not know is that she was also an avid gardener. I tried to stay focused as I spotted a lovely pale pink tulip and in the basket it went. But then I also spotted a ‘buy two, get one half price’ sign. Well, it would be foolish not to buy three then, wouldn’t it? Now the basket had three shades of pink tulips.
