Now that I finally have somewhere for plants (understatement) I have installed vibernums, my very favorite shrub, on either side of my barn door ^_^

It’s time for a new garden oasis! The luscious fig tree (previous post) isn’t mine, but soon I’ll have my own backyard Eden. The work isn’t yet complete, though we made huge progress this week with help from muddybootsgardening.ca and tiptoptreesltd.com 🌳🌳🌳 I have a beautiful new #dogwood #Cornis chinensis...a little shocked but still in full bloom and adjusting to its new home. A spectacularly foliagaged #rhododendron, a #vibernum, an #arbutusunedo and a Japanese #maple. All designed to shut out less than perfect views and beautify our tiny urban yard. 🌳🌳🌳 #urbangardening #citylots #placesforbirds #beesanctuarygarden #birdsanctuary #homesweethome #outsidespaces #landscaping #landscapedesign #urbanoasis #authorslife #writerslife #amwriting #amreading #secretplaces #workfromhome #placestodreamabout #yyjgardens #victorialiving https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHAjtGAf8q/?igshid=1lbsynznwu9ox

There’s a house for sale right next to us and Last week I needed to go tidy up the fragrant viburnum that had grown all catawampus into their drive! If you ever have to do this with any of your flowering shrubs or more importantly, if you just can’t stand the sight of any more winter, don’t throw those branches out! Instead clip the bottoms, put them in a vase and get them hastily to a sunny sill! In a few weeks you’ll be rewarded with blooms. These started as teeny tight buds and now look at them! In a couple of weeks they’ll be filling my living room with incredible fragrance! #forcingbranches Do this with your kids...they’ll think you’re the most magical mom alive! #flowers #flowerstagram #vibernum #fragrantflowers #scentedflowers #instamood #gardener #garden #gardening #flowers #nature #plants #gardendesign #gardenlife #gardens #gardenlove #green #mygarden #greenthumb #photography #instagarden #landscape #growyourown #flower #urbangarden #organic #homegrown #plant #growyourownfood #homegarden #gardeners #gardeninspiration (at Cleveland Heights, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1cKOkg5rh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s5gydasm34n4
