“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” ~ Albert Camus

Musings on that second spring of autumn. It’s almost here in Virginia!

September’s feature flower is the versatile and easy to grow Celosia.

Celosia is one of the easiest annual flowers you can grow, particularly here during our hot, humid summers.

This month we are starting a new Feature Flower series of our garden favorites. For July, we are focusing on zinnias.

Zinnias are one of the easiest annual flowers you can grow, particularly here in Virginia during the hot summers they love. Nothing says summer like a garden bed full of these cheerful blooms.

Discover our favorite types and a few quick tips on growing and enjoying them in your home.
