I sowed Snowy Spires verbascum in March, knowing nothing about this plant. It’s packaging in the seed display at the grocery story in February spoke to me. It said “You need me, girl.” And now that it’s in flower in my garden, covered with bees, I can say “Yes, I certainly do!” @burpeegardening #verbascum #snowyspiresverbascum #growup #cottagegardenstyle #cottagegardening #grownfromseed #fromseedtoplant #whiteflowersofinstagram #mixedborder #chicagogardening #chicagogardens #illinoisgardening #midwestgardener #zone5bgarden #smallgardeninspiration #seedtoflower #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore

Working on a landscape design portfolio for my client @rolling_landscapes who does incredible things with Chicago area spaces. This is a very narrow backyard that lives a whole lot larger than it is. So much consideration was given to every detail. From the pergola outfitted with an awesome swing to the plantings that offer multi season interest. I love this cozy inviting space. #backyardretreat #gardenretreat #backyardretreat #backyardgetaway #gardengetaway #pergoladesign #hardscaping #landscapedesign #gardenstructures #suburbanlandscapes #gardenswing #cozybackyard #nograsslandscape #chicagogarden #chicagolandscape #gardendesignideas #gardendesign #chicagogarden #illinoisgarden #zone5bgardening #smallspacegarden #smallspacegardens #goodbones #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore
