🌻 A Little Update from Pippi’s Garden 🌻
Friends, I wanted to let everyone know that Pippi’s Garden will be closed through next Saturday. I’ll continue to share updates here and will let you know as soon as the garden is ready to welcome you back.
This has been one of the most challenging seasons I’ve experienced—not just personally, but in the garden as well. Between the extreme heat, the drought, and the constant struggle to keep everything watered, the flowers have simply had a hard time thriving. Like so many of us, the garden could use a little grace and a little rain.
On a personal note, this season has brought its share of challenges, too. I’ve been dealing with ongoing hip and back pain while also helping my family through some difficult life changes. Sometimes we have to recognize when our plates are simply too full and give ourselves permission to step back for a little while.
Next week, I’ll also be in Orlando, proudly cheering on my sweet granddaughter, Willa Blanche, as she represents Georgia in the Miss Ultimate USA National Pageant. It’s such a special family moment, and I’m grateful to be there to support her.
To everyone who has stopped by the flower stand, bought a bouquet, shared a post, or simply encouraged me along the way—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means more than you’ll ever know.
This little dream of mine isn’t going anywhere. I’m taking this time to catch up, care for the garden, get some last-minute seeds planted, and give the flowers time to recover so they can bloom beautifully again. I know brighter days are ahead, and I can’t wait to welcome you back when the flowers are ready.
Thank you for your patience, your prayers, and your continued support of Pippi’s Garden and me. I truly appreciate each and every one of you.
With gratitude,
Michelle 🌻
