Bloom Upwards with Style

I love this container garden idea from Living Etc... the strawberry red is so delicious! Metal planters from Barbed adhere to a vertical magnetic wall (their designs are sensational!) Great small space idea...

Breathing Space

"Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty

outvalues all the utilities of the world"

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Spring flowers in all their vibrance flourish and shine in my garden...

Kermodi

Luscious greenery from Kermodi in Vancouver...They have the most bewitching collection of indoor/outdoor plants. I am smitten with the whimsical, sprightly beauty of the Whirly Girl (top)

Balcony Beauty

I soooo need this! The Balcony Planter can be attached to any banister with a maximum diameter of 6 cm. The planter has two separate compartments so you can mix and match greenery (like herbs...!) From Up To You based in Toronto

Take a Seat with Nature

Time to break out thee ole patio furniture. Why not forgo the conventional wooden Adirondacks, floral umbrellas, and woven aluminium chairs... and dare to be different?
I am really diggin' the cool Garden furniture collection created by 5.5 designers. Plant sweet-scented lilacs, fast growing ivy, radiant rhododendrons, beautiful roses, or classic cedar to personalise your "seating". The possibilites are as endless as your green thumb imagination...

Teracrea for Terra Firma

That time of year again! Here are some impressive ideas to quench your insatiable green thumb...
Unique designs for traditional terracotta pots, from Teracrea.

Treille is a system of cylindrical vases horizontally aligned and connected by green (camouflage) nylon belts and adjustable metal braces. A stair set can be created made of three containers to hang from the ceiling or from a wall.
Infinito is an assemblage of vases which can be configured in a multitude of circular shapes.
Balconcino is a vase obtained by joining a cylinder and a bowl, allowing greenery to grow from the varying heights.

Garden Grid

Plots of greenery are a place of refuge, in a rural or urban setting... I especially love the modern grid layout!

Les Plantes de Chalk

"Never yet was a springtime when the buds forgot to bloom"

~ Margaret Elizabeth Sangster

Soon to be that time of year again! Oh, the greenhouse will be full of flourishing foliage and blooming buds... and my greenthumb will be satiated.
Fab idea to apply chalk paint on the rim of plant pots to label, identify, and keep track of your beloved greens... also a great place to write a message when giving a gift that grows (I will take a living plant over cut flowers any day!)

Amazing Amaryllis

Huge colourful blooms of red amaryllis surely makes for a radiant holiday display. They especially sparkle atop a modern mirrored piece.
Don't get me wrong, I still love my marble star poinsettias, but there is just something special about these long-necked lovelies... stunning, from cityline.
