You think you know someone and then out of the blue a heretofore unknown fact comes to light that knocks you for a loop. I have recently learned my sister Kathy is a witch, or a Wiccan. I haven’t googled to know if the term Wiccan is a re-branding to make it less of an eye -of -newt sort of thing, or if Wiccan is a sect of full-on witchery. This news came to me via a conversation with my brother during which I learned not only is Kathy a witch but she attends a witch’s convention every year. READ MORE​

From immigrant seed traditions and trailblazing women to neighborhood greening movements and the world-renowned Philadelphia Flower Show, the exhibition reveals how gardening has served as an act of creativity and resilience while highlighting Philadelphia’s enduring influence on American horticulture. Visitors will discover stories from the underrepresented communities that have helped make Philadelphia one of America’s great gardening cities and see how those traditions continue to shape the city today.

I've been on the hunt for a very specific trellis for our garden. Not something I'd find at Home Depot or Home Goods. I'm picturing something old, a little weathered, maybe a bit quirky.
