John Viccellio retired after 24 years in the U. S. Navy and began to dig into gardening when he could finally land in one place. He completed the Master Gardener course in 1992 and has since designed and constructed two of his own gardens. He wrote a monthly garden column for ten years and was a regular contributor to Carolina Gardener magazine. John published his first book, Guess What's in My Garden!, in 2014.
He lives in a retirement community in Matthews, NC.
Hmm, we have a few of those in the loft, although the Golfer’s tend to disintegrate around the thumb hole so definitely not as pretty as this – but mine are always a pretty colour so I might copy your idea the next time I have a new ball 🙂
I should show you a garden up here that made a bowling ball totem. You would be amazed at their garden. The totem is really tall and entirely made with bowling balls.
Please join me for A Walk in the Garden: a way of sharing gardening observations, spiced I hope with a dash of experience, a dollop of opinion, a slice of irreverence, a spoonful of love for plants, and a cup full of memories.

Lol. I wonder if I still have mine somewhere? It wasn’t as pretty as yours, though.

The trick is to put the thumb hole down.
