How’s everyone hanging in there? Not going to lie but the last month has me hanging on by a thread but we’re in the home stretch. One more week of school and summer installs and summer finally begins!

Anyway…here is a wall-hanging basket planted with a moody, shady mix that brings me happiness on a daily basis.

Sunshine on a dreary Monday morning! Spring check-ins have begun and I’m swooning over how these butterfly ranunculus have filled in.

Not much else is needed when the local tulips and narcissi are this good! Sweet palette of pastels for a baby shower this weekend. And in typical fashion, my only photos are of the arrangements all boxed up for delivery.

The spring housing market waits for no one, not even Mother Nature! We are still weeks away from kicking off spring installs but I quickly pulled together some early spring planters for a house hitting the market this week.

The pops of pink are just what I need to get through yet another dreary gray day. 🩷🌸

Felt a hint of spring yesterday and finally ready to come out of my winter hibernation. Hellebores and quince mark the turning point for me when the promise of spring is near. Just 3 more weeks to go…

Hello friends! Well that was a much longer social media break than I planned but I’m officially done with holiday installs and have much work to share!

First up is this trio of hellebore kokedamas inspired by the recent article featuring kokedama mounds.

Yet another dreary, rainy Saturday. I’ve lost track of how many rainy weekends we’ve had in a row, but it feels like it’s been raining for a month.

Anyway…forgot to post these arrangements back in September when they made their way into NYC for a private birthday celebration at . Rich purples feel appropriate for this moody weather 💜🌧️⛈️

Late September jewel tones for a trunk show with

It’s been a messy, muddy and wet week of work but at least the fall planters are looking 💯!

Simple, moody bits from the garden on this first day of September featuring shiso, chocolate dara and wetland grasses.

Friday Flowers 🌸

These are just for me to get me out of a mid-summer funk. Inspiration is typically overflowing by this point in the summer but early bug pressures, new garden soil and torrential rains have everything looking nibbled on, water logged and short-stemmed. But, there is still beauty in the imperfect and I have a good feeling the garden will be bursting in another week.

Ageratum and torenia are the stars of these long trough planters.

Summer check-ins this week and happy to see this drought-tolerant mix thriving! Mexican feather grass and lemon sedum is putting me in the mood for a margarita 😉

After a mild spring and early summer, the garden is finally starting to produce!

All flowers and foliage grown in my garden and a couple of new additions this year that have me very excited, like this California poppy in the softest pink champagne.

Midsummer party crown with the palest of peach sweet peas, summer berries yarrow, strawflowers, and white verbena. And a sweet curl from my favorite 12 yr old head model 🤍

Last hurrah for local peonies at this weekend’s baptism

Year 2 of revamping this perennial and annual bed. Annuals providing early summer color while the perennials are just getting started. Can’t wait to check back in once the summer temps arrive!

Sweet little violas 💜💜

Making the rounds to check-in on spring installs and loving how these purple/blue beauties are filling in!

Like a breath of fresh spring air…🌸🌿

It’s officially the first day of spring and the countdown is on until the cutting gardens get planted! 🌸

Here’s a sneak peek of a plan for a client that will be installed in late April/early May, that includes a wide variety of textures and colors that will produce beautiful blooms all season long.

Hi there! I’m back after a much needed break and just in time to celebrate St. Patrick’s day.

Lots of spring content coming soon!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! There is still a lot to be done so I’ll leave you with this garland as I check things off my list. ✔️

White birch, silvery greens and cotton tufts for this pair of planters.

Officially done with all my holiday installs and can’t wait any longer to share this beautiful home!

Magnolia was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the incredible decor of this home, and I love how the two-tone leaves coordinate with the stenciled floors and wallpaper. And the best thing about using magnolia inside is how beautifully it dries. More to come!!

It’s a plum party for today’s install 💜🌲

It’s amaryllis and paperwhite time!

Offering a variety of planted arrangements featuring large amaryllis, paperwhites, and other winter flowering varieties - delivery this week through the end of December! Perfect as a hostess gift or enjoy for yourself through the holiday season.

Classic red and a quirky cypress for this historic home on the 1st of December 🎄❤️
