11yrs ago! Bev’s Tip of the Week.

Still great advice today… just maybe not today! ☔😂🌿

Gardening is not only good for your landscape, it’s good for you too! Did you know 1 hour of general gardening can burn approximately 230 calories?

A little fresh air, movement, and time in the garden can do wonders… although today’s rain may have us enjoying the view from inside. ☔🌧️
Rain today = a perfect excuse to plan your next garden project! 🌱

Save the gardening for a sunny day and get outside when you can!🪻🌸🌼🏡

Bev's Tip of the week:

Did you know 1 hour of general gardening burns approximately 230 calories? Cancel the gym membership for the summer and get outside in the garden!

Behind every beautiful landscape is a hardworking team bringing the vision to life. 🌿

A beautiful landscape is more than plants and materials—it’s the skill and dedication of the people who bring each design to life.
We’re grateful for the team that makes it all happen! 👏

One of the greatest rewards of a thoughtfully designed landscape is watching it come alive with pollinators. From busy bumblebees to beautiful butterflies, these visitors help support healthy gardens while adding even more beauty to the outdoors.

Planting pollinator-friendly flowers creates a landscape that's not only beautiful for people but also beneficial for nature too.
What's your favorite garden visitor--bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, or all of the above?

What would make you smile

Blooming gardens?🌸🪻🌼
A clean, polished entrance?

Your outdoor space sets the tone before you even walk inside.
It should feel welcoming, peaceful, and beautifully maintained.
Giving the same welcoming feeling as the inside.

Meet one of our favorite landscape standouts — the Blue Butterfly Bush (Rotheca / Clerodendrum ugandense) 🦋💜

This unique flower gets its nickname from the delicate blooms that look just like tiny butterflies dancing through the landscape. With soft blue and purple petals, it adds beautiful color, texture, and movement to any garden space.

Why do we love it in the landscape 🌿
✨ Long blooming season
✨ Attracts butterflies and pollinators
✨ Adds a tropical, eye-catching look
✨ Great for Louisiana gardens and warm climates
It’s the kind of plant that always gets people to stop and ask, “What is that flower?” 💜
