Just when I was pining for my family in England and the world's connection was slipping through our fingers, up pops Ann Marie Powell, a sassy, spunky, garden and people loving UK garden designer and author, into my garden world.
I was hard at work in the garden yesterday getting things cleaned up and cut back! What a joy it was to be among all the spring bloomers!! Daffodils, snow drops, violas, hellebores and this Belarina Pink Ice Primrose! 💕 Ahhhh spring! 💕💕💕
IT’ S SPRING! 🌷🌷I’ve been up since 4 am excited for all that is before us! Making plans and lists! Am I alone? Or are you excited for all the garden adventures! It will be a while before my roses bloom, but there’s so much to enjoy in between! Have a wonderful day! 🌷🌷🌷
🌷🌷Welcome Spring! 🌷🌷We’ve been waiting for you! I’ve read that Robin Williams once said, “Spring is nature’s way of saying let’s party!” 💃🏼🌱💃🏼🌱💃🏼🌱Let’s do it! Have fun friends! 🌱🌱🌱🎉
Feast day! 🐝🐝🐝 These little guys are busy! #pollinators #bees
