WHAT HAVE FERNS TO DO WITH WEDGWOOD? YOU ASK

In rambling around the world-wide press this morning, from my perch in the woods of southeast Maine, land of the pointed firs, I discovered this blog entry about one of my very favorite plants, ferns. In Maine they grow quite wild and large and lush. It is early yet, but already in the woods surrounding my daughter's home we can see evidence of early spring fern growth. In Georgetown where her in-laws live they grow a foot tall, wild along the roads and in the woods.

We know Wedgwood jasper, caneware and other bodies sometimes sported fern fronds, but not nearly as often as many other types of flora. If you go here you will find a few things we have in stock with fern leaves. The green dresser tray is one of my personal favorites, the fern fronds are beautifully displayed in a graceful trim.

I think I'll try taking a batch of ferns home to plant amongst my hostas in the shade!
