Easy annual color idea: Get done-for-you planters from your local garden center! These were hanging baskets and I simply removed the hangers to put them on my front porch plant stand. Bunny family has been returning to the same spot on this stand for many years! 🐰🐇🌱🌸 . . #mosslovegardens #bunnylove #homedecor #porchdecor #geraniums #asparagusfern #sweetpotatovine #plantstand #fuchsia #popofcolor #gardening #beautifyingmyneighborhood (at Grand Rapids, Michigan)

Here's how my front box turned out. First is the before pic. I wanted to rake out the old black mulch because it seems to attract bugs! Then I set out all of the plants to see if I like the layout. Some time-release fertilizer and cedar mulch added, and hopefully it fills out in a couple weeks! . . #mosslovegardens #flowerbox #lovetoplant #flowersaremyhappiness #cedarmulch #happyplace #colorful #flowertherapy #gardentherapy #begonias #coleus #geraniums #sweetpotatovine #hostas #clematis (at Grand Rapids, Michigan)

Redbuds budding! We got this little tree from a friend last year. Happily, it survived our cold winter. 📷 @michiganphotoart (at Grand Rapids, Michigan)

Can you see the water droplets? I love how Autumn Joy sedum emerges in the spring. I need to divide these soon! They are planted outside my back door by Carol's catmint. . . #sedum #autumnjoy #springjoy #garden #mosslovegardens #greenthumb #sunshine #aprilshowers #itsnoteasybeinggreen #gardening #citygarden #emergingbeauty #perennials #perenniallove (at Grand Rapids, Michigan)

No garden is complete without the visiting critters, like Mr. Red-bellied Woodpecker. It's tough to get a picture since they are quite skittish, but I sneaked this shot from indoors. . . #birdfeeders #pinetrees #woodpecker #throughmywindow #mosslovegardens #peanutfeeder #featheredfriends #wintergarden #almostspring #ilovebirds #citygarden #backyard #gardenguests #critters #birdfood (at Grand Rapids, Michigan)

What year do you think my mother-in-law papered our kitchen wall? We are in the process of remodeling now, but obviously this reflected her love of flowers just like her garden did. . . #myinheritance #retro #floralwallpaper #19something #bringingoutdoorsin #flowersareforever #mosslovegardens #cheery #beforemytime #bright #throwback #missher #gardenwall (at Grand Rapids, Michigan)

This little furface was not afraid to ask me why the 'squirrel-proof' window feeder was empty... it's because he ate all the food! . . #gardenguests #critters #somebodyishandfeedingthissquirrel #iwantasquirreldaddy #squirrelproof #mosslovegardens #wintergarden (at Grand Rapids, Michigan)
