2025 POTTING BENCH | SOUTH FLOWER BED
07/14/2025
It has taken eight years of living here but I finally feel like I have the south side of the house looking exactly how I want it packed full of luscious foliage. My DIY potting bench is center stage and the star of the show. Yes, I actually use it when potting plants. When not in use, it’s dressed to the nines holding my terra cotta pot collection and lots of pretties. For the first time, I went with succulents rather than flowers on the potting bench and I’m loving it. The flowers always dried out too quickly in the south facing full sun and never grew to their potential even when watered twice a day. The succulents are as happy as can be here, are so much easier to take care for watering once every few days and I can overwinter and put them out again next year....

06/17/2025
My daughter hosted a garden bunch for our future daughter-in-law’s bridal shower at our house this past weekend. It may have been the hottest day of the year so far with no shade on our back patio because the umbrella stand I ordered got lost in transit, not once but twice, and didn’t show up in time but we survived. There was no time for curated photos with my actual camera but I did get some quick iPhone shots before everyone arrived. My husband and son finished making the concrete tables for the event in the nick of time. The juxtaposition of the concrete with a mix of my grandma’s and mother-in-law’s china turned out perfectly with the garden theme. This is the back patio I dreamt of when we began the remodel process three years ago. And the bridal shower is the exact reason we made it the...
