Flowers

A list of some of my favorite flowers, guaranteed to add lots of color and attract birds and bees!

Even though buying summer blooming bulbs every year ensures that I was buying disease free, healthy bulbs, keeping and storing the bulbs from year to year was a great way to stretch my money and add to my collection.

I recently had a question about bringing in and preserving a outdoor blooming plant for the winter. Most of the plants that you buy at a garden center have been growing inside, so why do they not work well when I bring them in? 


Fun planters full of plants that can take cooler temps and still look fantastic!

I watch people shop the garden center and wonder "why do people choose the plants that they do?"  Is there more value in a 4" pot or a 6 pack?

Deadheading is a process of pruning by which old growth and seed heads are removed from the plant to promote new growth and continuous flowering


Hummingbirds need more than a hummingbird feeder and sugar water to be attracted to your yard! When you create a hummingbird habitat, you will also be creating a habitat for other pollinators - like bees and butterflies and other birds as well. 

Creating a cutting garden is a rewarding journey that merges the pleasures of gardening with the artistry of floral arrangement.
