Spring Exterior Plantings!

This Sunday (March 11th) is Daylight Savings and the official day of spring is only 9 days after that!! Although it makes the mornings dark again, I love the light that "springing forward" gives us and I can't wait to have longer and brighter evenings! 

All this talk of Spring makes me so excited for budding trees, flowering bulbs, and the smell of spring rain! Below are just a few samples of some of our stunning spring planting that we have installed (and maintained)!! Take a look at some of our other installs in our Gallery.

Spring is Just Around the Corner!!

Good ol' New England weather always leaves us wondering how many days of winter we really have left! It can be 70 degrees one day and the next expecting snow!! I am looking forward to being able to completely thaw out and enjoy the warmer days outside. As I sit here, still in my winter jacket, I dream of Spring and am enjoying looking at pictures of spring flowers and spring green gardens! 

We can't wait to get our hands back into the soil and planting container gardens for our clients! We'd love to lend a hand in helping you with sprucing up your building with flowering container gardens and lush garden beds. Give us a shout and we'll happily get designing! You can reach us through phone or email, visit our contact page for our information. 

Here are some spring flower container gardens that are inspiring and are making me smile! What do you look forward to most about Spring?!

Fall in New England!!

Fall in New England is one of my favorite times of year (at least weather and nature-wise) There are so many fun colors, the air is crisp, and fall just has this certain feeling of freshness that really enhances our senses. It's a great time of year to hop in the car and drive all around New England. Each town has something amazing to offer during the autumn months: fall festivals with fresh apples, apple cider, apple cider donuts, pumpkin caving festivals, maple syrup tours, and the list could go on forever!! 

Here are some of our favorite fall activities to do in New England:

The Warren Family Farm, North Brookfield, MA

Nashoba Valley Winery, Nashoba, MA

Schartner Farms Corn Maze, Bolton, MA

Maine Brew Fest, Sunday Rive, Newry, ME

Pumpkin Festival, Keene, NH

Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular, Providence, RI

If you live in Boston take a drive around to take a peek at some of the amazing fall containers that are on display throughout the city! There are some amazing designers who have created some great works of art! Here are a few fun container gardens that I found on Pinterest to inspire you for your own container gardens!! 

We would love to see some of your container gardens! Tag us on Twitter or Instagram to share your works of art with us!! 

We are in LOVE with these planters!

We are constantly on the search for new and stunning containers. As they are the permanent half of the design, it is so important to get the right color, shape, size, and texture. During our search we stumbled upon an amazing vendor that supplies some of the most striking planters that really transform the space to be so much more amazing! 

Do you have a specific design or color that you love for your planters? (interior or exterior)

It's time to start planning your ... Summer Containers

Our spring gardens were planted early April and are thriving!! But now it is time for us to begin planning our summer container gardens! We love working with our clients to plant them stunning gardens that will make their properties pop! We love to play with different color schemes and work with different plant varieties. Our passion is to beautiful spaces with greenery and pops of summer colors!

Here are some awesome container gardens for inspiration!!
