books about the garden

my lady’s garden (1905) by edmund blair leighton

 hello again, friend :)

we're in the thick of spring, and we've started a little container garden that I am just loving. It's my current baby, and I'm in full research mode over here, which is exactly what inspired this blog post. I am compiling a list of books about gardening -- trying to learn all about planting + harvesting veggies, fruits, berries, and flowers! So, today, I'm sharing that list with you!

discovering dahlias

fruit trees for every garden 

the cook's herb garden

I've placed an asterisk (*) by the books that I've purchased and I plan on getting more of these as the year goes on, but I have to pace myself because if you know me, you know I can go crazy when it comes to collecting books. Until next time, xoxo.

the country home: blues and browns

"evening at the iris field" by Timothy Easton
 

hello friend!

we're taking a break from the faux florist life and dreaming of a home in the country, adorned with white blooms and blue accents. don't ask me what inspired this post because in all honesty, I just opened up my laptop and started looking at all the brown and blue rustic things. I was loving what I was seeing and the interior designer within me started to curate look book pages. I've rounded up kitchen, living room and bed + bath room items and I love them all. I can't wait to share them with you, so here they are!
