This is the Salsbury garden center, along the way to my daughter Liz's. I always love to see the things out front. Love their clump river birch trees. The yellow of the flowers just pops. I think they are daffodils.
You can see to the right , the start of a picket fence. I love this fence. I was actually trying for a shot of the crabapple.:):) Oh by the way, Emma is still celebrating her birthday . :):)
This is the little potting shed on display at Horton's in Tipton. I am in love with this shed.
Love at this adorable feature. Looks like part of an old bed and an old window for a overhang.
A wooden barrel hold some white pansies, in tiny baskets.
A closer look. I know that these basket have been many different colors thru the seasons. Using things numerous times is so clever.
Pots of colorful pansies In another window on the side of the shed.
At the front entrance of Horton's the half barrels hold shades of purple pansies.
A small wreath of grapevine with a bow tied to metal scroll trellises. I have yet to buy any annuals for my porch containers. It's just been too cold . I do think it will start staying warm after this week. I am ready for some pretty colors on my porch.
Hope everyone is having warm weather. Enjoy this day. XO
I enjoyed all your colorful pictures. By the way that house in my video I listed as a place where Paul Revere stopped dated 1703 has been a funeral home for as long as I can remember.
ReplyDeleteBoston Boy, I did get to see Paul Revere's house in Boston when we were there. I love it. When we went to the Old North Church...a young man from the college there recited the poem of Paul Revere's ride. Just being in the church and hearing the poem gave me chills. I love history. Hope you can get out for more photos. Blessings for a great Easter weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI just love visits to a garden center. I am trying to decide on a new look for the pots in front of my house.
ReplyDeletePat, The garden centers have so many things ...not just flowers and plants..I love seeing how they use certain items in displays also. Hope you are having some spring. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI just love visits to a garden center. I am trying to decide on a new look for the pots in front of my house.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that little shed is too cute! I love what they did with the trellis and the grapevine wreath, what a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I had that little shed. I also saw a wee storage , that looked like an outhouse...just big enough for pots and containers, maybe some gardening tools.I think it was make of recycled lumber and skids. I know you are ready to start some things growing at your mountain home. :):) Can't wait to see. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh, I wish I had a potting she'd like that! Too cute! Thanks for the tour. Love the idea of using baskets to plant in.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I think that little shed is about 8 ft. by 6 ft.. just big enough. :) I had a wee basket and I need to find it. Some times hubby moves my stuff. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie - Love that potting shed. That looks like a very great place to visit especially in the Spring.
ReplyDeleteJudy

DeleteHi Susie, what great photos! So Springy! I love it! xoxo Happy Easter!!
ReplyDeletePam, I love driving by the shop along the road. So many blooming things out now. They have good displays also. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI can't wait to get a couple of hanging pots with pretty summery flowers. Enjoy your evening sweet friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, I know you pretty much have nice weather year round..but having some hanging baskets or potted plants does seem more like summer. Hope all is going well with you and yours. Happy Easter weekend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love little independent garden shops. I think there are only the big box garden centers around us. For many years we were in the garden center business, decades ago, and we both miss it.
ReplyDeleteThat potting shed is darling! Very clever use of a bed headboard.
Dewena, I love that you work in garden centers...you surely know your plants and flowers. I do love that wee shed...it's too cute. Blessings for a beautiful Easter weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love the idea of having a little potting shed. Sweet. I went to the nursery today to see what all they have. I'm getting anxious to plant some flowers, too.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I have only been to Horton's greenhouse...I will be looking for some bushes to plant this year. I just need to spruce up about three spots. Blessings for a great Easter weekend. xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie, I love your photos. We visited a new to us garden center yesterday. The weather has been so nice and it is fun to be outdoors again. Wishing you a lovely Easter.
ReplyDeleteMildred, Glad you and your husband got out to look at plants and flowers. That alone can make one smile. I am ready for my own flowering pots. Blessings for a joyous Easter weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI just love garden shops..Such pretty things..Hard to resist !! Happy Easter..cool here now but to be 80 by Easter!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Missy. I do like looking around at the garden centers and little shops here and there. I saw where Wal-Mart was getting some flowers in. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI always like going to the garden centers, Susie. They have so many interesting flowers, and you'll even see the hummingbirds once in awhile. The crabapple tree looks like its Pink leaves have already come and gone. The potting shed sounds like something you would like at your own home, and I bet Ted could build one.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Sheri, I have seen lots of butterflies these past few days. Loving that. I have chased some and Ted has laughed at me...I only wanted to get a picture. LOL. Blessings for a great weekend, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteWhat lovely places to stop and linger...
ReplyDeleteI visited a garden center yesterday, so many beautiful flowers and garden ornaments, I could have literally stayed there for hours !
Happy Easter dear friend.
Hugs,
~Jo
Happy Easter to you too JO. I love seeing all the pretty things arrive at the centers. It is tempting to buy now...but I truly want to wait one more week. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love garden shops! I have allergies, but I still love to visit them when I can! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!
ReplyDeleteOh Pilar, so sorry you have allergies. I just don't know how I would handle that...I guess you can get some lovely silk flowers . I have mixed fake ones with real greenery and it looks pretty. Blessings for a fun filled weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love garden shops! I have allergies, but I still love to visit them when I can! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!
ReplyDeleteOh Susie...I wish I lived near you...you have the most wonderful and interesting places to visit and shop. Have a very happy and blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, I do love looking around all the shops. I try to buy in my hometown to keep business going...but once in awhile I'll buy at Wal-Mart or Lowe's garden centers. I am ready for some wonderful plants here. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuch pretty flowers! Don't you just love spring!! Love, Love, Love that potting shed, wow, but where would I put it. It's so darling and rustic - that totally would inspire me to do more gardening.
