About Me

Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Gardenia by Royal Albert and our Garden Gardenias}

This time I will take you to our pond area underneath the huge semi-evergreen oak tree, where Pieter put a pick nick table and bench. It is a perfect spot for a tea or for just a break from garden work. So peaceful and tranquil. Let's have a look... A nice spot to have your tea and cake after a Garden Tour.
A tea towel as table cloth with Royal Albert Gardenia china and some Baccarat crystal vases and candle holder which was available at my Zen Cart powered on line boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics.
This is actually a vintage Baccarat Shalimar perfume bottle but it is perfect for holding a Gardenia as a vase.
These are the heavenly Aimee Yoshioka Gardenias, like I showed you last year in my post: {Heavenly Gardenia Jasminoides 'Aimee Yoshioka'}
Costco does sell these yummy Cashew Clusters with almonds and pumpkin seeds; good source of protein and fiber and gluten free. The Royal Albert China you also can see in my post: {May 22 Gardenia by Royal Albert and blooming Gardenias in Baccarat vase} 
Baccarat crystal candle holder, which is actually an egg cup holder...
Sorry ALL six are sold out...
The pond is a very nice spot for observing tiny turtles that swim by and waterlilies, fish, bull frogs.
Lots of mosses grow between the thick roots. Plenty of shade and the only negative of this huge oak tree is that where its shade covers the pond, no waterlilies grow.
Lots of pot plants across the pond, near the greenhouse.
Here you can view the greenhouse too.
Where those trees are there is the creek, the back of our property.

  1. Dear Mariette,

    I love the waxy blossoms of Gardenia so much. The heavy scent is wonderful. What a pretty vignette with the flowers and the wonderful Royal Albert china. The Gardenia in the Baccarat looks so perfect. As if the perfume grows out of the parfum flacon.Just lovely!

    Best greetings, Johanna

  14. Dear Mariette,

    Looks like the perfect place to enjoy your picnic.
    I love the Royal Albert china, and the gorgeous gardenia's. I can just imagine the heavenly fragrance of the gardenia.
    Must be neat to get right back to nature and see all the birds and turtles about.

    Happy week
    Hugs
