GARDEN HUMOR: MY NEW LINE OF SYMPATHY CARDS FOR GARDENERS

My photos are always free here at Tropical Texana. 
So...if you want to borrow one and send it to a struggling gardener, please be my guest.
***
So....without further ado (drum roll please)
Here are the 2014 GARDEN LINE OF SYMPATHY CARDS by
David at Tropical Texana
 ***
 CARD #1 COVER
Cover: Sorry about your neighbor's taste in lawn art
****
Inside: Hey...at least they're not PINK FLAMINGOS

 CARD #2 COVER
Cover: Sorry to hear that the city is putting a sidewalk through your garden...
***
Inside: ...but it's not the end of the world. Actually, it probably is. Give me a call and we'll talk.

CARD #3 COVER
COVER: Sorry to hear that the really expensive plant (that you had no business buying on that crazy trip to another part of the country that's not even in your plant hardiness zone) is almost dead.
***
INSIDE: Tough love...it comes in many forms. 

CARD #4 COVER
COVER: Geeze....so is your new neighbor a  master gardener or what?
***
INSIDE: Guess not.  Hey, at least they're trying.

CARD #5 COVER (This is a real photo on the next street over)
COVER: Words cannot describe how sorry I am that my tree fell on your house...
***
INSIDE: Blank

CARD #6 COVER
COVER: I'm SO sorry you didn't buy 10 more of these while they were on sale...
***
INSIDE: I bet you are too! 

CARD #7 COVER 
COVER: Hey, what's bugging you?
***
INSIDE: More importantly, what's bugging your plants?
Text me sometime, okay?

And finally....the one I need for myself
CARD #8 COVER
COVER: Sorry to hear that your summer will be spent indoors doing your spouse's projects.
***
INSIDE: Sneak out and garden anyway!
(Freeze damage...another card idea)

So there you have it! Sympathy Cards for Gardeners
P.S. If you have any other ideas, just leave a comment.
I need someone to think of a card about squirrels.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Very clever! I think I need to have #3 made into a poster for my own office. I tried to think of one to address unexpected visits by raccoons - the cover could be uprooted plants (I can supply the picture of my garden this morning) with a message reading "Raccoons - they just look cute".

  3. Funny, David! Bummer about the tree though. Is it yours?

  4. I laughed out loud, each one funnier than the last.

    I've hoped for this one but I think it will never happen:
    So sorry weeds have taken over your garden.
    (Inside) I'll be over next Thursday to help you.

  5. David, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at #2. Did they really do that to you? I fear so.

  6. Been browsing for some nice sympathy card messages or just any words to uplift and comfort people who are downhearted. I felt happy to have found this inspirational page of yours. These words are very nice. Thanks and keep sharing :)
