The Boston Flower Show

This has been our 3rd year participating in the window box displays at The annual Boston Flower Show. We have so much fun designing and creating our display. One of my favorite parts about participating is the excitement in the air as everyone is working incredibly hard setting up their stunning displays.

This year the theme was 'Spring Savor,' we were asked to create displays that included edibles mixed in with non-edible plants. As an interior-plantscaping company we have tried to always showcase a bit of what we do! Last year we used tropical plants and so this year we decided to use succulents!! But did you know ... that some succulents are edible?! Aloe, stonecrops (sedum), and agave are just a few that come to mind. Here's a great website that provides more information: Edible Landscape Design.

In case you missed attending the Boston Flower Show here are some pictures that I took on a quite morning before the show had opened to the public! 

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?!

2018 Pantone Color of the Year!

Pantone 18-38383 Ultra Violet

"A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future.

Complex and contemplative, Ultra Violet suggests the mysteries of the cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond where we are now. The vast and limitless night sky is symbolic of what is possible and continues to inspire the desire to pursue a world beyond our own.

Enigmatic purples have also long been symbolic of counterculture, unconventionality, and artistic brilliance. Musical icons Prince, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix brought shades of Ultra Violet to the forefront of western pop culture as personal expressions of individuality. Nuanced and full of emotion, the depth of PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet symbolizes experimentation and non-conformity, spurring individuals to imagine their unique mark on the world, and push boundaries through creative outlets.

Historically, there has been a mystical or spiritual quality attached to Ultra Violet. The color is often associated with mindfulness practices, which offer a higher ground to those seeking refuge from today’s over-stimulated world. The use of purple-toned lighting in meditation spaces and other gathering places energizes the communities that gather there and inspire connection." - Pantone

Pops of color... our fall colorbowls

As you may already know, we love plants and we love arranging them! Our colorbowls are a great way to cut down on your monthly costs of receiving a weekly floral arrangement. Every 6 weeks we swap out one colorbowl for a new fresh one. We use tried and true plants and props to create stunning designs that will bring color and beauty to your office space or lobby. Each month brings a new color and a new design. Take a look at some of our past fall colorbowl arrangements. 

Can't you imagine having one in your office space?! (we make them in all shapes and sizes...and even succulents gardens!!)

National Indoor Plant Week - 2017

It's that time of year again!! It's NATIONAL INDOOR PLANT WEEK!! We are celebrating our 4th annual plant week on the streets of Boston. You can find us Tuesday, September 12th at 12:30 in front of 50 Post Office Square. We will be there at lunch time handing out baby azaelas (until supplies run out...and they go quickly)!! Come join us in the celebration of indoor plants and all that they do for us!! 

Benefits of Indoor Plants:

1. Purifies Air: Plants breakdown chemical components found in industrial glues and paints and remove other pollutants from the air

2. Noise Reduction: Reduces distractions and makes it much easier to concentrate

3. Creates Oxygen

4. Connects with Outdoors: Plants in the work-space give a sense of connection with nature (something you miss when you are inside all day)

5. Ease Tension: Plants moderate temperatures, increase relative humidity, and can personalize an office space
