Flowers Never Fail Us

Flowers are a source of comfort, hope and beauty, and they are also a reminder that life is cyclical. Think about Robert Frost’s poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay”. But they are always beautiful and they will never fail us, coming back to be part of our lives season after season and year after year.

Nantucket Garden Club's Community Green Thumb Flower Show 2017
