A warm welcome!

Yes, It's Springtime. My very favorite time of year. To me, the most welcoming place of your home begins at the entrance. If a front door could speak it would be saying." Come on in, I'm so glad you're here!"


Pots of Flowers, trailing ivy , ferns and topiaries lead the way. As if we didn't know Spring is here, this sign with a tiny pot of primroses says it all. And yes people who love to garden do live here!

We welcome you to the next Spring Boutique. Details on shopbotanicals.com Click on Good Things to Come!

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!

Going Green with Botanicals

St. Patricks Day is just around the corner and I was inspired by all the flowers in the hues of greens and white and soft yellow.

Creating Planted Baskets with Daffodils, Primroses, Shamrocks and Moss create an Irish Centerpiece.

Can you believe these vivid green flowers are Carnations! Fabulous with these white Lizzy and Snapdragons. These are going in my house!

A whimsical "Cheers" on a Vintage French Terra Cotta Garden relic!

Getting ready for my next blog. Planting wheat grass for a very green Easter. What would life be without a Greenhouse sign!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Thank Goodness for the Greenhouse

It's very chilly out and rain is on the way. After an early morning at the flower market I'm ready to get to work.


Today I have the pleasure of filling a home with fresh flowers, blooming plants and topiaries for a very special occasion.


It's cozy and warm in the greenhouse. Such a nice place to work surrounded by all that I love, flowers, plants and garden treasures.


Arranging flowers in a their natural environment is so rewarding. They open beautifully and the fragrance is almost overwhelming. It's a good day!


When I'm not outside, most likely I'm in the kitchen. Just could not resist a photo of this Lemon Ginger Cheesecake I baked for a friend's birthday. Of course it's topped with pansies and strawberry leaves from my garden. What else did you expect!
