So. An hour long training designed to provide interactive tools to help employees recognize and appropriately deal with workplace bias has become an 8 minute video referencing religion and composed of bs rhetoric. 🤬

A new diversity training from Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration includes two references to a “creator,” language that offended some state employees.

This is the best synopsis of the far right and its years of intentional, planned, dissolution of Americans Constitutional rights I have ever seen. Yes, there IS a cabal working in tandem to shove America back into the Dark Ages and destroy democracy, and it is THEM.

Two hundred conservatives gathered at Yale Law School and coalesced into a group whose name was a joke: the Federalist Society.

Snapshots of my garden & some of my buddhas

The first new baby arrangement to leave the nest since we put up this page. Yippee! This was a private sale to a friend, using a milk glass footed bowl, ivy, and beautiful pink, white & mixed peonies. After arriving at its new home it was part of the décor for a baby shower for her granddaughter who will join the family in December! It will reside permanently in my friend's home along side her beautiful collection of vintage and antique dishes. It will be added to the permanent floral album but wanted to share this milestone! The arrangement was 21" tip to tip and 9" tall.

Hi! I'm Deborah Passmore and 15 years ago I fell in love with flowers. I have 7 flower gardens at my small Norfolk home. I have 2 Floral Design Certificates from Norfolk Botanical Gardens where I was privileged to study under Marlene MacDonald, who always nurtured the creativity and imagination of all her students. I started working with permanent flowers 4 years ago. I have done many arrangements for my home and for friends and family. I have been unable to find the type/quality of permanent arrangements I love locally, and I'm in hopes of sharing my love of all things flowers and providing others with beautiful, long-lasting floral arrangements to enjoy. So... welcome to my garden, and I hope you find joy in what you see!

While my main focus is permanent floral arrangements, these are some examples of my design style. These arrangements were designed while working on my Botanical Garden Floral Design certifications.
