I do my best work in the rain and am really excite I do my best work in the rain and am really excited about the evolution of my entry garden. If you remember, a storm took out my mature crabapple tree last summer. Now I’m clearing the space to start the process of visualizing how it can look. I design slowly, as I can afford it. That’s how all my gardens have come together. What are you working on in the garden right now? #newgarden #frontgarden #hereshegrows
I love succulent container gardens and I’m looking I love succulent container gardens and I’m looking forward to this little water wise arrangement of Skyscraper senecio, Crown of Thorns euphorbia and Lemon Coral sedum knitting together. #succulentcontainer #succulents #skyscrapersenecio #containergardeningideas #hereshegrows
Just a little peak at what’s happening in the gard Just a little peak at what’s happening in the garden right now… 1️⃣ No flowers in the sideyard garden yet but the Iceberg Alley sageleaf willow and Tamukeyama Japanese maple are serving. 2️⃣ Heaven Scent Polemonium has a beautiful soft fragrance that pulls in the bumbles. 3️⃣ I planted just a handful of allium bulbs under this dwarf cherry tree many years ago and they’ve spread by leaps and bounds. 4️⃣ The color on the Peach Sorbet and Jelly Bean blueberries is fabulous. Lots of blossoms on my strawberries too! 5️⃣ The Fruit Snacks apple trees have leafed out and look as though they’ll stay another season 🤞🏼. 6️⃣ I can’t resist a happy bumble flitting among the blueberry blossoms. #mygardentoday #suburbangarden #springgarden #hereshegrows
This past winter I received an email from @ballsee This past winter I received an email from @ballseedcompany regarding the newest plant introductions for 2026. And that’s when the award-winning Venti PinkBurst dahlia from @selectaonena entered my radar. I called all the local nurseries I could think of to see if they’d be carrying it. Nope. Then my mom and I attended a garden event last weekend at @alsipnursery and there she was. I gasped. Grabbed two like my life depended on it and was overcome by a red carpet moment. At approximately 18” tall, Venti PinkBurst dahlia is perfect for the front of the border. Its anemone-like flowers are pollinator friendly and sturdy stems make it a great cut flower! #plantobsession #ventipinkburst #dahliaseason #hereshegrows #chicagogardening
Rose thrips have shattered my dreams of a rose cov Rose thrips have shattered my dreams of a rose covered arbor for years. So I released five million beneficial nematodes from @arbicoorganics a few days ago and will be planting new roses. GO TEAM GO!!!! #organicpestcontrol #thrips #hereshegrows #rosecare #zone6a
We’ve not seen eye-to-eye on lawn care since the b We’ve not seen eye-to-eye on lawn care since the beginning of homeownership…until now. He’s seen the light (finally)! After 20 years of four-step programs that advise waiting several days before walking on the lawn after application, we switched to @true_organic_ lawn food. Safe to walk on after application, it contains no harsh chemicals and helps build soil with sustainably sourced key ingredients nitrogen and iron. Which means kids and fur babies are good to go, the lawn thrives chemical free and we’re building healthy, living soil 👶🐶 Soooo….you in? #ad #trueorganic #organiclawncare #hereshegrows #truecrew

Back in November I planted a bunch of Double Sorbe Back in November I planted a bunch of Double Sorbet Blend tulips from @provenwinners in a black container. I’m no @clausdalby but for a first go with planting tulips in containers, I’m pretty happy and will most definitely be doing this again in the fall. In case you’re curious, I potted them up and left them in my unheated garage for the winter where they got a good bit of cold. By mid March, green tips were poking through the soil and I moved them to my front porch where they acclimated for a few days before moving them to my sunny south-facing patio. #tulips #springflowers #containergardening #bulbs #hereshegrows
I’ve held out hope for many years that these climb I’ve held out hope for many years that these climbing roses would bathe my arbor with gorgeous cabbage-sized blossoms. All I got were thrip-ravaged buds, rose canker and disappointment. Life’s too short to suffer for a pipe dream! #hereshegrows #gardenlife #keepingitreal #chicagogarden
I couldn’t wait to assemble my @vego_garden Ultima I couldn’t wait to assemble my @vego_garden Ultimate Grow Light System! It came with everything I needed to put it together. Despite the suggestion that it was a two-person job, I did it myself in less than two hours. I’m stoked about the options on the grow lights. I can dial in the light based on what I’m growing - seeds, greens, fruit, etc. Light intensity and duration are just a touch away. And I can raise and lower the lights as needed. Now for the seeds! #vegogarden #growlights
