A Zulu warrior, his hut and his shield. A lion and giraffe circle the village.

A team of 14 designers from the Baltimore-based American Institute of Floral Designers designed one of the six major display gardens at this week's Philadelphia International Flower Show: South Africa.

The institute is a national group with 1,600 members worldwide. The folks who participated in the show are from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee and Connecticut, led by Ron Mulray, of Philadelphia.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
