Garden Art

I have a few of these Antique Urns in my garden at home and I love the pitted patinas that they develop over time.  If you leave them in a shaded area the porous nature of the urn will grow a beautiful green moss on them.  Whether you put globes in them or greenery they add a dimension to your landscaping similar to what a sculpture would elicit, a bit of artistry outside. You can also bring them inside and use them to accent your dining room table with Hurricane Lanterns like these shown below. Using a Linen runner on the table under the urns I’d place the Faux Topiary Containers on the table and then scatter  small 4 ”  Topiary rounds around the display.  Finish off with antique glass tea candle holders and you have a terrific table scape with romantic lighting ideal for dining.  If you want to add color to the muted tones of the table, small glass vases with the flower of your choice will make the table pop with color.

Cherry Blossom time!

Thankful for the rain and our emerald hills, our next horticultural experience in this beautiful state is the colorful explosion of the Cherry Blossoms. The Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival begins this weekend in San Francisco’s historic Japanese district. With the promise of beautiful temperatures in the city this weekend, a visit to see California’s natural beauty might be just the visceral treat you are looking for.
