FOTO FRIDAY is a gardener, Rob Bauereisen, who truly takes his work home. As if devoting his botanical efforts at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens wasn't enough, his home's curbside appeal proves my point as he obviously works his fingers to the bone.
In fact, his plant collection is so extensive that his list of plantings is 35 pages long.No joke.
This man dedicates his free time to cultivating extensive collections of Japanese maples and citrus trees whose buckets line both sides of his driveway.Imagine pulling all of those inside the garage on predicted frost days.
Behind his home sits his large greenhouse where his tireless propagation work is used to raise cuttings for fundraisers for the Botanic Woodland Garden sales.
We were ever so grateful for the invitation and warm welcome to tour the couple's home garden. Thank you!
And here is a pic of our hosts after they had some dinner!
