Mum’s the Word

Or is it? 
Looking to spruce up the joint? 

Maybe sell the house?


Here’s a quick guide to the best bang for your curb-appeal buck.


Window boxes.

For heaven’s sake, use them! Or buy them!

They scream charm and countryside cozy! Run with it.

Edges looking a little rough?

Line those pathways with some annuals to spruce up your walkway so even the Amazon delivery guy feels welcomed.


That old fence looking a bit dreary?

A boxwood hedge offers the benefits of a fence with the charm of an Irish plantation.

Seriously. Who doesn’t love British countryside?


And finally that front porch!

A couple planters… a few cascading greens from Home Depot…and boom! 

Front-door fantastic!

Whether you’re looking to spruce up the old homestead, or sell and move on, don’t overlook those flowery friends that make passersby stop and gaze.

Take a pic, send it to your mum ( see what I did there?) and pat yourself on your green-thumbed back.
