Flittermouse's Profile

Syllogi -- I say go for it. Hang it up where you can see and enjoy it. If you have some family photos (maybe of the same relatives?) that you can display near the painting, that might take the edge off the trendiness somewhat.

Well, I qualify as both Gen X and a gardener. I own a home and have plenty of yard to work with.

I agree that the industry does a terrible job marketing to me, but I'm not sure that's generational. I'm big on heirlooms, own-root old garden roses, and other kinds of old-fashioned plants in the garden but I have no idea if I'm typical of my age group or not.

I do wish there was less desperate marketing to "young folks" (because it so often looks ridiculous) and I wish there was more intermediate-level advice available. It seems like there's a lot of "you too can garden!" and "do this first!" and not very much on next steps after you've gotten that tomato thing worked out.
