      • Our vintage window greenhouse is a favorite of absolutely everyone, especially me!  Bentley built it from windows I salvaged at garage and estate sales and then created this pretty little greenhouse.  I also love to create and design with garden decor so here you will find how to make garden decor, how to host outdoor dinner parties, stage a greenhouse for seasonal photography, and design your garden area so that you can enjoy it to the fullest.Greenhouses and Garden Decor
      • Growing flowers from seeds can be such an economical way to bring color, life and abundance of flowers to your garden.  I will share with you how and when to start seeds, how to transplant them, how to nurture them, deadhead them, harvest seeds and prepare them for winter.  I will cover a variety of flowers from annuals to perennials, and such flowers as black eyed susans, calendula, celosia, cosmos, larkspur, love-in-a-mist, poppies, snapdragons, statice, stock, strawflowers, sunflowers, sweet peas, yarrow, and zinnias…to name a few!Growing flowers from seeds
