See What’s Growing in My Garden This Year!

Today is a happy day—I can officially say that my garden is in full bloom! It’s always a wonderful surprise when I see little green shoots emerge from the prior year! I’ve mentioned before that my garden is equally as special to me as my most cherished and time-honored recipes. So, I am thrilled to invite you all into my garden today.

Gardens that are carefully planned and developed can be as dreamy as the home in which you live. In fact, I consider the garden an opportunity to surround myself with plants that fill me with contentment and delight. With each leaf that puts forth and each bulb that returns year after year to bring a welcomed splash of color, the seasons come alive!

To this day, I am still so pleased with the decision to include raised beds in my English-inspired garden. You can fill them with carefully blended soil that will nourish your plants. This additional architectural element in the garden easily becomes the highlight!

I hope these cheerful colors and beautiful bulbs have brought you some inspiration today! If you have a garden, please share what you’re growing this year in the comments below.
