in Citrus and Cream, Create, Grow on 06/23/14

Image: Scoop of Coffee Recently I started brewing my own coffee at home, skipping the Starbucks. It was a sad day, but that’s a different blog post!

in Citrus and Cream, Create, Grow on 05/27/14

We had a wonderful time teaching our terrarium class at The Gardens on Saturday. Although Steph and I have put together numerous tutorials and how-to’s on our blog, we rarely get to interact with people as they create.

Light & White, or Bold & Bright? What’s your flower pick?

in Citrus and Cream, Create, Entertain, Grow on 04/18/14

I love how the different seasons and holidays often have a flower look to accompany them. Thanksgiving is rich with oranges and golds and deep purples, with the mum an easy go-to and pumpkins and pomegranates quick additions for a table. Christmas is festive and fragrant, marked by the contrasting colors of red and green…

How to Create a Terrarium

in Citrus and Cream, Create, Grow on 03/12/14

Why is it that the moment a miniature version of something appears, we go crazy for it? There’s something about tiny things that make us smile, and a terrarium is no exception.

Hello, Hellebore! 5 Reasons why Hellebore (Lenten Rose) is a Favorite

in Citrus and Cream, Grow on 02/18/14

I first saw hellebore growing in my mother-in-law’s garden a number of years ago. It was in winter, which made the gorgeous flowers stand out even more.

in Citrus and Cream, Grow on 02/05/14

Strange and Beautiful: Air Plants (Design and Care Tips)

in Citrus and Cream, Grow on 01/13/14

I first saw air plants while visiting The Gardens, a local nursery that has a knack for bringing in unique home and garden finds. My initial question, I learned later, was quite typical: Are these real? It wasn’t just their sea creature-like appearance that seemed so strange; it was the fact that they were conspicuously…
