Spring at Mar Mar's House!

Hibiscus mark the entrance to Mar Mar's pool deck. We chose concrete containers (provided by CGOA) to coincide with the concrete pool deck and stacked stone walls behind the pool.

Cast Iron Urns (provided by CGOA) look perfect on the porch of this white house with black shutters. To give some color to the front porch, we chose various pink and white Geraniums. Simple and Beautiful!

So many enjoy cooking, that it seems crazy not to have your own herbs! This trio of pots includes Rosemary, Peppermint, and Lavender.

Most everything is this window box lasted from our January install. We just had to replace the Snapdragons and Primrose with Spring color....Vinca, Impatiens, Gaura, and Veronica.

This area has 4 shady windowboxes that hang outside of a screened porch. They look great as a whole, and as individuals (shown below). They contain a great mix of shade-loving colors and textures.

House for Sale!!

In this housing market, it is easy to think that a house will just never sell. People are thinking hard of ways to improve the curb appeal of homes, but are hesitant to take on the costs of a full blown landscaping job. The solution......CONTAINERS!!!! Below are 'after' pictures that show the difference that two window boxes made for this precious Peachtree Hills home.

Morris Brandon School Auction


In March, CGOA donated an outdoor container to Morris Brandon's Auction. Donations like these make it possible for the renowned public elementary school to have things like new playgrounds and the best teachers. We were glad to give to such a wonderful cause!

Orchids, Hydrangeas, and Ferns...oh my!

Here is a glimpse into our interior work. Remember us for your spring parties and events. You can enjoy a potted arrangement for months, while cut flowers only last days!!

Bridesmaids Luncheon at Mar Mars!

This job was especially fun, as it was for a long time, dear friend's bridesmaids luncheon. Luckily, the cold February weather did not stop us from finding beautiful pink primroses and snapdragons to give the bridal feel to the occasion. This theme continued to the interior containers that had beautiful hydrangeas, hyacinth, and cyclamen. Also, we we found awesome cast iron planters that look perfect on Mar Mar's front porch!

The Pope's Precious Patio and Windowboxes!


Pictures of the patio to come...

The Popes wanted some consistency through their patio, since their terra cotta containers varied. We put boxwoods underplanted with pansies, thyme, lambs ear, and ivy. In the windowboxes, we stuck with the staples for this winter....kale, heuchera, pansies, boxwoods, ferns, etc...such a pleasing combination that is full of texture and color!

SE Flower Show Success!!

We hope that everyone had a chance to come by the flower show, but for those who didn't, here is a glimpse at our work. Our 'Peacock Chair' entitled "Breakfast at Tiffanys" brought home a first place ribbon and our window box brought home second place...yay!

Spring is approaching (can't wait!!) so please give us a call to set up a time with us to plan your spring plantings!!
