If you are anything like me, you have probably been seeking refuge from reality in your garden the past two months. Everyday, when I step outside into my “playground” I reflect with gratitude for the many blessings in my life. Even so, it can be hard to not be impacted by the reality our world is facing. As I have said before, I have no answers, but I sincerely hope that these short-and-sweet blog posts can bring you some peace and joy and maybe inspire you to go outside and create something new. Hope springs eternal, especially in the garden.
Something blue, just for you
Floating flowers is a creative, relaxing way to see your garden in a different context. I’m shocked by how many blue flowers are out in the garden, and love mixing them together for a beautiful table top arrangement.
What is in Bloom RIGHT NOW?
Bachelor Buttons, Larkspur, Nigella & Violas
Larkspur comes in a variety of different colors, including this cobalt blue
Centurea, or Bachelor Buttons are a long blooming spring annual that will self sow
Nigella sativa has an edible seed, though I grow it for its ornamental flowering qualities.
Violas are a cool season favorite of mine. I plant these every October and they bloom until it gets hot in June.
Pick a few blooms from each and put them in your favorite bowl for a unique spring inspired display
ENJOY and Happy Mother’s Day!
