You know how it goes in the garden, you set out to do one thing-plant some plants and 700 other tasks jump into your path and before you know it hours are gone and you’re working on something else entirely. It can’t be just me, can it?
Spend some time with me in my Philadelphia zone 7 garden while I wrestle with roses and create a new grouping of planters.
If you’re new here, I’m a Philadelphia based floral and event designer whose entire garden is for cutting and flower arranging. I don’t make straight rows of anything and I’ll cut with abandon to create floral designs from the first flowers of Spring till the frost kills the mums in the Fall. I focus on color and planting things together so they bloom all season in waves of designs-like I’ve arranged each and every stem.
To see 3 years of transformation of my abandoned garden:
To see me work on a recent floral design:

I get my music & sound fx from Soundstripe, as a newer YouTuber I wanted a custom feel to my soundtracks without the crazy cost of some of the big licensing companies that charge by song, with Soundstripe-it’s one monthly or annual fee and unlimited access to their library which I find full of cool, contemporary and interesting options. As an affiliate, I’m happy to recommend them to you all! Click the link below to see the available plans:

Everything looks so pretty!
Hopefully you have some time in your hands for a garden tour ❤
I work from a list everyday but I'm 72 years old with Osteoarthritis of the knees. SO I do what I can & things are always changing. Your inventory of plants needing to be planted would overwhelme me. Mid Michigan & working 1/2 acre. I love your home & grounds. Your floral arrangements are true art.
I love the idea of the rose ‘in’ the wire vase! If you wrapped the branches with brown paper, you could probably slide the vase over… Just a thought 💕 Well, never mind… I see the vase has cross cross wires in the bottom 🙄
I love how your mind works, I find I have them same issues when working in the garden. You have such a STUNNING garden design. Something I have to work on 🌼🌼🐝🐝
I love your house, garden and green. I totally understand the stalemate you feel when I have a million things to plant but then there are weeds and then I have to move things!!!!😅 I keep telling myself that it is only May…
Know EXACTLY what you mean of a supposedly “little” project snowballing to monumental, full blown, whole day job! LOL love your ideas and all your urns, pedestals, and planters. Just seen your channel and will be watching previous posts, plus future ones! Thank y
Oh mine! I go through the same thing. I am glad this a a normal thing people goes through in their garden. ❤❤
Looks like you have so many beautiful irises. I would love if you do a tour only about your irises giving us the name of every varieties. I'm a huge iris fan. It's one of my favorites flowers.
