…from the Promise Gardens. Spring has surely sprung! As you see, the spring flowers have tempted me to create many lovely arrangements for the spring photoshoots. I am always in awe of the rich colors and uniqueness of each flower and leaf. Lilacs, hyacinth and bulbs create a spectrum of delight! I wish you were here to take in the sight and aroma!

There are some really beautiful surprises forthcoming and creative things you may want to try in your own gardens so watch for them. The new potting table will get an update of glorious beauties and the old very large potting table will get a new place with the works in a new spot — “secret dining garden.” The “Secret Resting Garden” and “Photography Garden” will hold wonderful things and activities. Oh so fun!
Happy Gardening…treat yourself to the beauty of our world…

These colors are wonderful and helpful as we create the color for our design this year in our annuals and container gardening. We like the pinks, purples, whites with various hues of light green for this year’s plan. Looking at images of flowers, strolling through garden centers and perusing flower catalogs are a great way to create your spring garden palette.
