Tomorrow is it, the last day of the season! 9-12, 40% off all annuals.

It’s time for this girl to start tending to her own garden beds and containers…..and weeds!

I’ll still be posting and sharing what’s going on here, and we’ll open up again in the fall for beautiful mums and fall planters!

I really can’t express how grateful I am for every one of you who has shopped, shared, and encouraged in this journey/small business.

Thank you. ♥️🌸✌️ -E

😵‍💫 Sometimes the storms are a real bummer. Doing some cleanup this morning!

Lots of questions on the AquaPot inserts, so here’s a little breakdown on them!

This is simple, pretty basic, but oh, so pretty. 😍

It happens all the time. You plant a combination and one plant gobbles up another and the vision is lost along with the plant that disappeared.

If they are good companions, many times it’s just a matter of who grows faster and steals the light from the other! Early season trimming can help even things out so you end up with the balanced look you envisioned from the start.

It happens to us all. It’s happening to me right now! Here’s how I’m handling this one to even things up!

“Wait… I thought you were supposed to break up the roots??”
“Why didn’t you loosen those??”
“She didn’t even touch the root ball 😠”

I saw allll of those comments—and honestly? I love it. That means you’re paying attention and thinking about why we do what we do 👏

So here’s the deal: sometimes I rough up roots… and sometimes I absolutely do not. It depends on the plant, how root-bound it is, and what I’m trying to get it to do after planting.

In this video, I walk you through both—when it helps, when it doesn’t, and why blindly doing it every time isn’t the move.

Gardening isn’t about one “rule” that fits every plant. It’s about understanding what’s in front of you 🌱

Keep the questions coming—I’d take that all day over not caring at all 💚

We’re changing our hours for June!!

Monday 3-6
Wednesday 3-6
Saturday 9-12

🌸As the annual planting season slows, it only makes sense to adjust our hours, but we still want to provide you with beautiful flowers if you need to fill in the next couple of weeks or add to your spaces!

♥️Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my little business. Your support through garden center visits, shared social media posts, and encouraging words means more than you know. I’m so grateful for you all.

🌸 This is a flashback and a visual for what happens when you give your plants and their roots room to grow. Easier on you AND better growth. No downside there!

Side note before the hate comes. 🤣 No, I’m not saying an ivy plant will turn into a flower basket. The baskets were sold out when I did this video , but it is an example of how big the planted basket was when it was planted in the bigger pot.

🌸 I love doing things a little different with our planters at the office and sharing how we accomplished the look! We’ve done videos on our mandevilla planters for the last few years. This one uses similar plants, but I really wanted a different look/shape! Crossing my fingers that it holds up and works out the way I envisioned it.

We’ll follow this through the summer and see how it goes!!
