July Garden Tour

Posted on by Lauren Lane

Gardening brings me a lot of peace – wandering outside to water in the morning and see what’s growing and blooming that day. Today I’m sharing my July garden tour. If you missed my June garden tour, go back and take a peek here!

Here’s how it works: I walk around my yard and take pictures of the gardens. I don’t clean up, put away toys that have been left out, or weed. This is just how life in my gardens look today!

Here’s how things are looking in the garden today!

Limelight hydrangeas are starting to bloom. That lantana is growing as big as I thought it would! Loves its spot!

Garden Tour – June 2021

Posted on by Lauren Lane

Oh my goodness. It’s been a week. Well a week and a half! We had so much fun as a family a couple of weekends ago, and I was just feeling uninspired to write blog posts, that I inadvertently took last week off. Then the whole family, except for Nathan, passed around a miserable head cold last week. It was terrible. Baby J and I got it the worst, but I spent the better part of last week trying to learn a new job, while simultaneously dealing with a head cold that at all hours of the day made my head, sinuses, throat, and all the things feel bloated and painful. I think we’re turning a corner, though. On the mend, *fingers crossed.*

Today, I wanted to share a June garden tour! I filmed this a little more than a week ago. Gardening is a hobby in the summer months. I can’t keep a house plant alive for the life of me. 😳. But about once a month during the summer, I love to share a little walkthrough of the gardens.

I always feel inspired getting to virtually walkthrough other people’s gardens. It gives me ideas of ways to combine plants that I hadn’t thought of before, or plants that I want to try the next season. I actually keep a running list on my phone of plants that I’d like to incorporate the next year. You all are the best inspiration and such a wealth of knowledge, and that’s what I love most about this space and Instagram. It gives me access to virtual friends that I learn so much from.

Anyways, enough blabbering, and on to the tour. I hope you enjoy!

My Favorite Room In Our House Isn’t Actually a Room

Posted on by Lauren Lane

Spring and Fall battle it out for my favorite season, but I think ultimately, spring tends to win out for me. The springtime when the garden starts to come to life again, birds return, there aren’t all of those pesky mosquitos yet that come with summer. So despite being stuck at home during this COVID-19 crisis, watching spring come to life has been so much fun for me this year.

Spring time in particular I have a favorite room in the house that isn’t an actual room inside our house. It’s a beautiful little sitting area outside surrounded by draping pines over one side, and greenery all around.

I’m going to include details of the plants in the first picture at the very bottom of the post for those of you that are interested in ideas for your own garden!
