nope--can't pick aphodites garden! then you would win the contest and we can't have that! LOL
CLOSED: Name My Garden in Exchange for Seeds
I'd win? I never win anything! I played bingo at a garden party once and couldn't win a single game. So finally I asked to call the numbers and still I couldn't win a game. I think it's my turn to win. LOL
ohhhhhhhhh--so this was a set up?? had your garden name ready and making sure you win this time!!!!!!!!!!!
in that case you should make the prize a new car!
just kidding--
I won a pink radio -- plug in kind --probably mid 60's at the feast at St Sylvesters Church in Brooklyn. ....... I was so excited...... I got home and plugged it in and it shocked me!!
Well, I didn't think about that, Linda, but now that I think about it, I like it! LOL But there's always the chance that someone will come up with a name I like better. I'm not hooked on Aphrodite Garden yet. But I like the subtle reference to love and beauty. I've nicknamed the area "Lover's Lane" temporarily, but I'm not liking it--too obvious and cliche. When the right name is thrown out there, I'll feel it.
Missingrosie, that's just too funny! That sounds like my crazy luck! So funny!!!
and to think someone in texas recently won the big time lottery-----------------for the third time!!!
Cupid's Corner.
You walk in there, you take a gamble!
Always & Forever
blooms of love
hearts desire
So far, my favorite picks are:
Missingrosie's Unity Garden, which I may use for the main Wedding Garden.
Toofewanimals' Aloha Garden, which I may use for the honeymoon suite at the other end of the garden.
I still haven't found the perfect name for this particular lover's spot yet. So if y'all have any more suggestions, throw them out there. Thanks for all the suggestions! Y'all have some cute ideas. I keep going back over them to make sure I didn't miss anything. LOL
Going out to get dirty now.

Just a few romance songs that sound like they go with gardening
Growing Together
Seasons of Love
Almost Paradise
You've got me thinking about planting me a romance garden
Neat Idea
Donna
I like Seasons of Love and Almost Paradise. I'll have to think on those.
You should plant a romance garden, Donna. There are so many plants out there with a love theme in their names. I have lots of daylilies with a love theme, like Bogie and Becall, Two to Tango, Hillbilly Heart, Driving Me Wild, Bridal Path, Holy Matrimony, etc. And of course the four oclocks and moonflower bushes and moonflower vines bloom at night and are fragrant. And you can add roses which are always romantic. I also have a hedge of fallopia bushes (for fertility) and to even things out, I'll plant a chaste tree this fall. It's blooming right now so I can't move it. I also have coral honeysuckle and I may move it to the arbor in this little garden if I don't find the perfect climbing rose. It's really fun looking for love-themed plants. I plant a marker with each plant's name on it in front of each plant and my guests love it.
I am going to see what I can come up with. I will have to start looking for some of those plants you named. I can always find a spot here for romance!!!
ok well I have a few..
"Meant to Bee".. could use different mints and Bee motiff of could just say "Meant to be" or "Mint to Bee"
"LoveBug Garden " Use lady bugs and dragon flies etc..
Love Birds Garden Use birds and cages etc..
Fluttering Romance Garden..Butterfly themed area
Eternal Love Garden use Hearts and swan theme..
Tulips Garden Kissing lips bows and hearts etc..
Love knot Garden Knotted ropes..(need a lil creative thinking here)
Love In The Midst, or Love In A Mist.. using these flowers and others you have in the love theme...
Im sure someone with a creative spirit can carry these further in the idea area than I can..Trish
Oh, I like the Love in the Mist idea! Hmmmm, I could work with that perhaps. I do have some Love in the Mist seeds I could scatter in that garden--forgot about those. And I have the pond in there. I could put a different fountain in it that "mists". I'll have to think on that one. The name's a little long; it's not as easy to say as I'd like when I direct people to the "Love in the Mist Garden", but it's a possibility. I like the idea. Thanks, Trish!
I'm going to leave this thread open until Aug 8 and make my decision then. So there's still plenty of time to "name this garden".
name it simply
Eden
or if whimsy is desired
The Garden of Weedin' . . . . . . see . . . http://www.theperfectsign.com/ProductImages/in_the_garden_signs/2977.jpg

Anymore suggestions? I'll make my decision on Sun. Deadline for names is Sat around midnight.
LOVERS NOUVEAU
There were some great suggestions here, and it was hard to make a decision. But I've decided to go with Aphrodite's Love in the Mist Garden. I love your idea, Trish. I have a spraying fountain that can look like a mist and I'll put it in the pond. I'll grow some Love in the Mist flowers in there and try to find a statue I can call Aphrodite.
I also like some of the other names and will use them in the other gardens. I am renaming the Wedding Garden to the Unity Garden--missingrosie's suggestion.
And I love the Aloha Garden - toofewanimals' suggestion. I think it's perfect for the Honeymoon Suite which will have a tropical theme. There's an Aloha rose I might get to add to this garden as well.
Thank you guys for all the suggestions! If you three winners will dmail your addresses, I'll get some seeds in the mail to you within the next couple of weeks. I'll take a peak at your trade lists and see if I have something on your list that I could send along. Thank you all so much! I'm so happy with the new names for my gardens!
NancyAnn
Honeybunch, Missingrosie, and Toofewanimals, if you'll dmail me your addresses, I'll get some seeds out to ya soon. Congratulations on naming my gardens.
