When someone gives you lemons, you make miracles

When someone else buys the plant material for their containers ...... well you make it work

A wedding was about to happen here, and the house and the grounds were  gorgeous.

I wrapped the base of these Boxwood shrubs with moss... no one wants to see dirt.... especially at a wedding

I did add to the plant materials like these Mandevilla, because we needed some height.

A combination that I would have never imagined some how worked out fine.

The plant materials were not of my choosing.

I was just asked to plant.

Sometimes you get happy accidents.

I think part of being a Gardner is believing that miracles can happen, and part of being an Artist is making  miracles happen

Need less to say the wedding was beautiful.

A look at spring containers

Spring is finally here (keep your fingers crossed)

Here's a look at  some spring planting I did for a client of mine.

Eddibles to spring containers

When I do my spring container plantings I always use some cool season vegetables such as lettuce, kale, and young cabbage plants.

Red leaf lettuce, snapdragons, and orange Pansy, a treat for the eyes, and for the tummy.

   

Pansy's and kale make a perfect color combination, even if you don't like the taste of kale. These two work great in this pot.

Leaf lettuce is such a wonderful fresh green color. It's not just for salads.
