I'm joining some lovely and very talented ladies to talk about container gardens. I do love a container garden because they are so manageable. Spring has come very late here in the New York/Connecticut area so I took a day and visited two of my favorite nurseries to get some inspiration. The day I decided to visit the nurseries turned out to be a beautiful day and would have actually been a ...

Serena & Lily Design Shop + Westport, Connecticut
Memorial Day Sale May 22nd - 28th Right before I left for Phoenix and a quick 24 hours in Southern California with my sister, I stopped in to see my friends at Serena & Lily in Westport.
