Oh, the gifts the garden shares. Nature offers us a smorgasbord of visual delights. A bit of this, a stem of that, entices us to bring nature in. Do you bring nature in to grace your home or office? #allaboutthegarden #allthingsbeautiful #springbliss #seasonalbeauty #theflowershowinmymind (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDaw64uCrK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All week, I've been dreaming of this simple arrangement. I'm calling it 'The Gathering. The vase, a McCoy, found in a bin at a second-hand store. When I saw it, I knew what it was and rescued it. I was asked why I purchased willow stems at the Philadelphia Flower Show? Someone gathered these stems to share natures bounty, I use them in arrangements as I remember the beauty of an event I anticipate every year to officially welcome Spring. So I went into the garden at the break of day to gather with love a few branches in bloom. Blooms that hang like lanterns, lighting the way to the next season. Yes, it's truly a gathering of natures gifts, in a simple vase, on a simple Sunday, just in time for spring. Do you gather the gifts from your garden? #allthingsbeautiful #allaboutthegarden #springbliss, #seasonalblooms, #theflowershow2023 #Mccoy, #gatheringfromthegarden, #allaboutthegardenlife #willow (at Prince George's County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-bPB2u9Q7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I recently spoke in North Carolina. One of the topics was, The Garden is the Elixir We Need. This is truly my mindset as I embrace changes in my garden. I will post my thoughts on the blog later today. Just when I thought all plant material had been lost, the gift appeared. Go into your garden. Discover what nature presents you with daily. It's never the same, and many times, it is the gift you need to lift your spirits and reimagine the possibilities. #allaboutthegardenlife #allthingsbeautiful #reimaginethegarden #springbliss #gardens #anticipatingspring #gardengifts #believeinthegarden #thegardenisahealer #peonylove (at Prince George's County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpp02vzOzip/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am so plugged into Spring! Greeted by a little dancing man, obviously in a floral frame of mind, this year's show and theme - The Garden Electric - did not disappoint! #thephiladelphiaflowershow #springbliss #theflowershow2023 #thegardenelectric #allaboutthegardenlife #allthingsbeautiful (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpc7go8Ou4d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had to blink twice. I thought I saw a random bloom the other day. It wasn't my imagination. Phlox is blooming in my garden. It's mid-February and 43 degrees. What's blooming in your garden? #allaboutthegardenlife #allthingsbeautiful #februaryblooms☘️🍃 #springbliss (at Prince George's County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2DhcZOlNh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh my! It was another good mail day! There's nothing like receiving good seeds when it's raining outside...or when it's sunny outside. Are you getting into good seed trouble as you prepare for the planting season? Thanks for the love, Amirah! #goodseeds #allthingsbeautiful #allaboutthegardenlife #springbliss #seeds (at Prince George's County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxL0EfOmXk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As a good gardener, I wanted to make certain my Little Dibby and Dibby XL knew that this was going to be quite the weekend. I read them excerpts from one of my favorite seed catalogs, showed them the spinach seeds we will start this weekend under cover, and tucked them in. They will need all the rest they can get. It will be a busy spring. I think I need to get a few backups, just in case one gets lost. They are so cute and colorful! Thanks Spoken Garden for these cute Dibby's Do you Dibby with your seeds? Have you purchased your Dibby yet? #allthingsbeautiful #allaboutthegardenlife #seeds #springbliss #coolseasonseeds#spokengarden #dibby #sowingseason (at Prince George's County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNLQlou6n0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
