Spring is a time of renewal in the garden, and one of the most exciting ways to usher in the new season is by planting bulbs. Bulbs are a fantastic way to extend the colour season in your garden, adding both texture and interest, and they’re relatively easy to care for. In this guide, we’ll […]

The main differences between outdoor and indoor plants are the climates they’re comfortable growing in, and whether those conditions can be mimicked in your home. As it turns out, a lot of the plants we typically […]
When the weather is hot like this, it’s only natural that we’re drawn to water. Suddenly, you wish you had more friends with swimming pools, and your neighbour’s water feature is looking more enviable than ever. If you’re starting to lean toward adding a pond or fountain to your landscape but you’re not quite ready […]
