🌴🌺 First impressions start at the front door.

Welcome your family and guests to your home with a planter that feels like a tropical getaway. Lush foliage, vibrant blooms, and cascading accents create an inviting entrance that sets the tone before anyone steps inside.

This custom design for one of my customer's lake homes using Proven Winners Toucan® Coral Canna, Downtown Royalty™ Coleus, and Creeping Jenny has grown together beautifully over the summer.

I love designing planters that not only look beautiful on planting day but continue to grow into showstopping focal points all season long. 🥰

If you'd like to welcome guests with a custom planter designed just for your home, I'd love to help! Reach out to get added to my Fall custom planter schedule.

Small planter... BIG impact! 🦋💜

Monarch Magic™ Ageratum proves you don't need a complicated combination to make a statement. Planted all by itself, this little planter at Picks Lakeshore Resort is bursting with vibrant color and has been an incredible performer all season long.

Sometimes, simple really is spectacular! 🌿✨

🌴 Bring the Tropics Home! 🌴

Who says you have to travel to enjoy a tropical getaway? This custom planter was designed to create that lush, vacation-inspired feel right at home.

The combination of Proven Winners Emerald Isle Elephant Ears and a Majesty Palm creates bold height and dramatic tropical foliage. To soften the design and add beautiful contrast, I paired them with cascading Silver Falls Dichondra, Bossa Nova Night Fever Rosso Begonia, and Guacamole Plectranthus.

I'm so happy with how well this planter is performing! This customer is taking advantage of my Summer Maintenance Program so I can admire it every week. 🥰

🌿 Another planter update from Picks Lakeshore Resort! 🌿

This unique Yellow Shrimp Plant has definitely found its happy place! 💛 Paired with trailing Mezoo, it's become one of my favorite combinations this season.

The goal was to create something a little unexpected. A planter that would stop guests in their tracks and spark conversations. I'd say mission accomplished! 😊 So many people have stopped to admire this unusual beauty and ask, "What is that plant?"

I love incorporating unique plants that add personality and make each planter memorable. 🥰

✨ A little more magic has arrived at Picks Lakeshore Resort! 🧚🏡

I had so much fun adding this adorable Fairy Grand Hotel to the landscape! 💖 Lakeside rooms are now available for more tiny friends to enjoy the incredible view. 🚤⚓️🥰

It's the little touches that make a garden feel extra special, and this whimsical addition is sure to bring smiles to guests of all ages.

Next time you're at Pick's Resort, keep an eye out... you never know when you might spot a fairy checking in! 🧚✨

Sometimes by mid-summer your planters just need a little refresh! 🌿✨

A few new plants with contrasting color and texture can completely transform a planter and give it new life for the rest of the season.

For this refresh, I scored some amazing treasures during Ferguson's Gardens Fill a Flat for $20 sale and found the perfect additions! I also helped this new customer relocate one of their planters to down by their lake deck, where it will be much happier with the light it receives. And can we talk about that dreamy view? 😍🚤

Makeover plants added:
🌾 Red Rooster Sedge Grass
🍃 Proven Winners Sweet Caroline Red Hawk Sweet Potato Vine
✨ Star Dust Super Flash Euphorbia
🌺 Proven Winners Rockin' Fuchsia Salvia
💙 Lascar™ Blue+White Verbena
💛 Yellow Zebra Variegated Potato Vine

Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest impact! 🥰 A few carefully chosen plants can add fresh color, texture, and balance, extending the beauty of your containers for the rest of the season.

If your planters are starting to look a little tired, don't give up on them. I'd love to help bring them back to life! Send me a message to schedule a mid-season planter refresh and keep your containers looking their best through Fall.

⏳ Time for another before-and-after transformation... this time at Picks Lakeshore Resort! 🌿✨

I love seeing these lakeside patio planters fill in over the season. 🥰 The combination of Proven Winners Supertunia® Saffron Finch, Supertunia® Priscilla, Superbena® Sparkling Amethyst, and Golden Cascade Mezoo creates the perfect blend of color and texture around the Fireworks ornamental grass.💜💛

One of my favorite parts is that I get to care for these planters all summer long, giving them a little extra TLC with weekly applications of Sharkey's Greenhouses Beat Your Neighbor fertilizer to keep them healthy, blooming, and looking their best. 💖

Time for another customer planter progress transformation! 🌿✨💗

These photos are just two months apart, and I love seeing how beautifully the planter has filled in. This custom combination features Dragon Wing begonias and Cyperus Cleopatra (Tut) grass paired with colorful coleus, trailing mezoo, and cascading Silver Falls dichondra. Together they've grown into a lush, eye-catching display that's full of color and texture. 🥰

One of my favorite parts of this job is seeing customers enjoy their planters all season long, and getting these progress photos is so rewarding! 💚

Which plant catches your eye first?

There's nothing I love more than when customers send me progress photos of their planters! 🌿💚

These pictures are just two months apart, and it's so fun to see how much everything has filled in. 🥰

The Majesty Palm creates a tropical focal point, while the colorful impatiens and trailing mezoo have grown into a lush, vibrant display. This combination is the perfect pool patio vibe. 🏊🏻‍♀️☀️🌴

Thank you to my amazing customers for sharing these updates. Seeing your planters thrive makes my day! 💖

🌞 Come with me as I water plants this morning. Another warm and sunny day at the lake. Perfect way to start it off with yoga on the dock with The Studio Yoga & Barre at Picks Lakeshore Resort! 💖

🧚‍♀️ Oh and our fairy friend is still loving her view by the lakeshore. A special door has been added to her home. 🥰 Also don't forget to give your plants some extra care and water during this crazy heat! 💧
