It’s the smell of spring. Do you dig it?
From hot garden trends to cool garden structures, grab your favorite pair of boots and
let’s check out the show – “Art In Bloom”.
This year’s NWFGS really showcases the very personal
garden retreat. Plants + passion.
There is something for:
The wine lover –
like a cellar carved into the hillside.
The artful recycler –
I’m currently crushing on this colorful greenhouse. It really IS ‘green’. It’s
built out of recycled glass patio doors.
Check out the potting bench!
It’s a very portable, old school ironing board!
I’m obsessed.
There is even something for the Seahawk fan!
Going Vertical ~
Oh my! Whether you’re tight on garden space or simply want to
create breathtaking living wall art, the vertical garden may be for you.
You’ll see several gorgeous examples like
the wall painting above by West Seattle Nursery. It’s #inspired!
On a smaller scale, I’m also digging this edible wall art,
hanging on the walls of Mexico City. It’s a
vertical salad bar!
Sedum, is on the garden HOT list too…whether it’s on the wall or underfoot as
a cool carpet of green.
Market umbrellas are also on the HOT list.
Let’s heat things up even more with 50 shades of….
ORCHIDS. Talk about exotic beauty in a rainbow of colors.
This year’s show is loaded with sculptural beauty too.
AND seriously cool water features.
Such fun ideas! Love the ’12’ done in African Violets! Wish I could be there with my uber gorgeous friend!
