🌸 Looking to bring more life and color into you

🌸 Looking to bring more life and color into your garden next spring? Now’s the perfect time to start planning! 🌸

As we move into the quieter months, it’s a great time to reflect on your garden’s potential. Here are 5 simple design principles to keep in mind as you plan for a vibrant, colorful space that will flourish when the growing season returns:

1️⃣ Seasonal Color Transitions – Dreaming of a garden that evolves with each season? Think about adding spring bulbs, summer blooms, autumn tones, and winter textures. Planning now means a stunning display next year!

2️⃣ Bold Color Blocks – Consider which areas could use a pop of color. Grouping plants by color creates eye-catching focal points and keeps things simple when it’s time to plant.

3️⃣ Layered Textures – Visualize pairing soft grasses with bold leaves to add depth and dimension, making each color stand out beautifully.

4️⃣ Balance with Neutrals – Use greens and silvery tones as your garden’s foundation for a look that’s colorful but balanced.

5️⃣ Color Flow – Imagine your garden with a natural transition of colors that guides the eye from one area to another. A little planning now can make a big impact later!

❄️ As we head into winter, take this opportunity to prepare for a garden that’s ready to bloom with purpose come spring! 🌿

🌿 Blooming Hydrangeas 🌺 Don’t let lack of blooms get you down! Here are three tried-and-true tips to nurture your hydrangeas to their full potential: 1.
