YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN A PO

YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN A POSITIVE INFLUENCE IN YOUR LIFE... Ruby Gordon Randall Lefevers Johnson moved in with my family in 1937, having lost her only daughter to a kidney ailment overnight. She was roaming around drunk in depression (this is all from Daddy) and his mother brought her in to our beautiful house that is still on Kentucky and Virginia Avenue in Pineville, KY. She raised Daddy, Uncle Floyd and “Aunt” Irene, then moved to the Rockcastle River when Daddy sold it all and started a new adventure. She cooked amazing country food like beans, coleslaw, cornbread, fried potatoes, pork chops everyday and made all of us feel special. She acted like she didn’t like my 3 sisters (remember she had lost her daughter and couldn’t open her heart up anymore) but she was good to them. However, she loved us BOYS and gave us checks at Christmas, mine being number one, then Dusty, then Buzz. I was her favorite and everyone knew it. She told me that when I was born, Daddy and Momma got a room across the hall at the Marymount Hospital in London and as soon as I was dropped from HEAVEN, I was brought into her room and she nursed me from there. I believed this until around the same time that Santa Claus wasn’t real. She would say everyday to me, “I know in my heart of hearts, that that child is the sweetest angel that ever took a breath on this earth”. People need LOVE and ENCOURAGEMENT because the world is tough. Let’s be KIND to one another. ❤️#love #family #carloftisstyle #pinevilleky #matriarch #encouragement #liftothersup #kind #childhood

My INSTAGRAM PAGE is about all the things I love..

My INSTAGRAM PAGE is about all the things I love... GARDENS, DOGS, ANTIQUE CARS and TRUCKS, FURNITURE, FOOD, BOURBON, HORSES, NATURE, FAMILY. I try to keep everything “LITE” and FUNNY, but thinking about the FAMILY that is missing this beautiful, young, fellow UK Alum on her birthday today makes me say just this: Instead of feeling better about our amazing country, the past few years have gotten me so depressed with name calling, hurtful divisiveness, just plain old HATE. We can’t go on like this and now is the time to stand up, be heard and make changes that have been long time coming. I’m not asking you to do anything but think of others and put yourself in someone else’s shoes (an old Cherokee saying Daddy used to say is “Never judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in their moccasins”) We are all here on the same MOTHER EARTH and everyone deserves FREEDOM and FAIRNESS. Simple, that all...things have got to change and the good ole USA 🇺🇸 is gonna rise to the TOP like we’ve always done. 💪❤️💯💥💕 #love #loveoneanother #fairness #changeforthebetter #kentucky #unitedstatesofamerica #good #risetothetop

A while back I was asked by Ben Southworth and Christine Smith from Garden Variety (a podcast about gardens and gardeners) for a tour of the Botherum house and my gardens as a featured guest on their show. It was a pleasure to give them a little history of the house and how I took a neglected historic home and made it the place I love the most in all the world. We talking about the plants I love, how to use flowers from the garden as cut flowers among other things! Link is in bio so you can give it a listen!

RIVER HOUSE Please scroll through the photos of m

RIVER HOUSE Please scroll through the photos of my family home on the Rockcastle River and read my brother Buzz’s text at the very end... he always lived at home since graduating from Cumberland College and became a County Judge Executive for 23 years in Rockcastle. He selflessly took care of Momma everyday, along with sister Betsy, and would drive her 150 miles everyday because that is what she wanted. It makes my heart feel better to know that he had found some peace now that she is gone. Let’s hope we all find some PEACE in this world. ❤️ #carloftisstyle #family #familyfirst #familyiseverything #home #rockcastlerivertradingcompany #garden #gardens #gardening #love #happiness #peace

TUESDAY TRANSFORMATION When it’s all said and do

TUESDAY TRANSFORMATION When it’s all said and done, Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens will be known as designers who can get to the “HEART and SOUL” of every project. We aren’t one hit wonders who stamp the same thing (trying to recreate Versailles, and I ain’t talk’n Ver-Sales, KY 😂😂😂) on every space/home/business we take on...every place has a STORY and that is what we figure out through TALKING to the owner, LISTENING (you know how many people listen? Very few) LOOKING, DESIGNING and INSTALLING. Hell, anybody could design something but if it doesn’t WORK or LAST, then it’s just a movie set. You have to know your PLANTS, FLOW and has to be APPROPRIATE to the STRUCTURE. Design and Build, there is no passing the buck! @bgcarenav #ilovemyjob #joncarloftisfinegardens #garden #gardens
