A person in a winter coat, hat, and gloves sprays a pinkish substance on evergreen trees using a handheld sprayer. Snow is falling, and the trees have a dusting of snow on their branches, creating an intriguing mix of colors against the white backdrop.

Do you have beautiful conical evergreens on your property or in your garden? (ones that would make great holiday decorations?) Have they been poached for Christmas trees? Sadly, stolen Christmas trees are a real problem, and if you need help deterring poachers and thieves, there is an answer. Craig at Ellis Hollow just made the […]

Close-up of tall, slender Hyacinthoides hispanica flowers with delicate, drooping blooms and long green stems, set against a blurred background of pinkish-red leaves, capturing the enchanting essence of Spanish Bluebell Woods.

When I first became passionate about gardening and horticulture in college, I would devour books and magazines about gardens and plants. I remember joining a magical garden book club where I think you bought one book, but that somehow got you an additional three free books. Did that exist, or am I having false memories? […]

Aerial view of colorful tulip fields in vibrant rows of red, pink, yellow, orange, and purple, separated by narrow paths. These meticulously planted forced bulbs thrive beside a strip of green trees and a drainage canal that borders the fields on one side.

A man holding a holiday wreath.

Wreaths are such ubiquitous holiday decorations and finding unique ideas for making your own can require a bit of creativity. I find that I am drawn to the all the free ingredients that the autumn and early winter garden offer. Add to it dried florals, and other interesting materials and you too can create your […]

A collage showcases a woman in a pink gown by a stone wall, elegant interiors with intricate ceilings and statues, Marella Agnelli's lush Marrakech Garden pavilion, and a black-and-white photo of two people in conversation. Text reads "La Bella Vita" and "Design Icon.

I admit I am a little fascinated by past generations of beautiful socialites (I find these slightly historical characters far more salacious and interesting than the more boring celebs that fill People Magazine).   They were beautiful, worldly, rich, beautiful (did I say that already?), political, influential, literary, and incestuous as hell (amongst their elite group). And […]
