We've been enjoying The Residence as well! I prefer many British terms over American ones, but I'd much rather call it our "rain barrel" than "water butt" - bwahaha! I wouldn't think that wicker-covered one would hold up very well in the weather, either. Not only are my hydrangeas pruned, but I'm attempting to propagate the cuttings a la Anya the Garden Fairy! My efforts with rose stems were a disaster, so fingers crossed this goes better...Enjoy Key West - I'm off to Cancun next week!

Hey JP. I have done this visit several times and always see something new and different that I hadn't noticed before. Your pictures are beautiful and flash me back to the warm sunny breezes wafting through the fort where these fantastic plants thrive.

Nice reminder I visited Key West and the Martello Tower in 1995 I didn’t know there were gardens mind you they might not have been there in 95!

That shop is glorious JP, I’d definitely blow the holiday budget if I went in there! The treasure trove clams would look gorgeous on the table, on a summer’s evening, as citronella candles, what a fab idea ♥️

Oh my! What gorgeous water butts! Love the shell candle idea! So simple too just melt some coconut oil, add some essential oils and a wick or three and Fanny’s your Aunt!
