Gardening: Eye Candy

Leave it to spring to bring an overwhelming amount of visual inspiration for both gardeners and non-gardeners alike. Our garden center is filled to the max to the garden lovers’ delight. Seems like wherever you turn, there is eye candy to be fawned over and admired. I must admit, being surrounded by beauty every day is a major job perk for me, and it is equally rewarding to inspire others with the wonders of the plant and garden world. As a visual person, it often takes just a bit of visual inspiration to spark a new idea or captivating combination. Next thing you know, one great combination will lead to another, then to another, and another– all sparked by the visual spark that started it all. With that said, be inspired by this visual gallery of captivating combinations or simply stop in for a visit. Happy gardening!
