Fall Containers

I'm getting set to launch a real website for this hobby-turned business of mine, so I thought I'd share some photos that didn't make it to the blog last fall.  One thing I learned is I need to get a jump on fall planting way earlier than I did.  I just fall in love with my summer planters and then before I know it the selection at my wholesaler is YUCK.

I can't wait to dig in for this coming fall, though.  It's so nice to change out the planters for a fresh look!

Spring is (Finally!) Springing in Chicago: Latest Installations

It has been so darn grey and chilly here in Chicago, it's been tough to muster up energy or enthusiasm to do much of anything.  Hopefully this overview of my lovely spring installations will help my clients at least pretend we have a spring in Chicago!

Here are the spring containers for Knit 1 - my favorite knitting shop!

Yes, that's a little lettuce garden!

My hair salon,  Avieve.  Sadly, the hydrangeas died a sad death in a snowstorm last week.  Ugh!

Now I get a chance to plant my own window boxes and planters, so more on that later this week.  I am putting clients on the docket for summer planting - our longest growing season in Chicago.  Be sure to contact me if you are interested in some beautiful containers for summer!
