We admit to being 100% addicted to Instagram. It’s a fun way to catch up with what friends are doing, near and far. It’s also a fantastic source of inspiration. If you are like us and are also craving garden inspiration as we anticipate Spring’s arrival… here are a few of our favorite accounts to follow.
@gardendesigmag - We love this feed and subscribe to their newsletter for great info and beautiful photography of landscapes, container gardens, edible gardens, flowers and plants.
@gardenanswer - We wish Laura, of Garden Answer, was our bestie! Her darling personality shines through on Instagram as she offers how-to videos on everything that has to do with gardening - seed starting, planting bulbs, container gardening, landscape design, etc!
@longwoodgardens - We would love to visit Longwood Gardens in person someday but until then, their Instagram feed does the trick. They offer inspired images of their gardens, Orangery, Palm House and Conservatory as they change from season to season.
@pallensmith - Visiting P. Allen Smith’s Moss Mountain in Arkansas is on our bucket list. The Instagram feed shows glimpses of his beautiful farm and farmhouse perched on a bluff overlooking a river. We can’t get enough of his hydrangea and sunpatiens displays! Flowerbed goals for sure!
@detroitgarden - We’ve never been to Detroit but when we do, we will head straight to Detroit Garden Works. The tag line of this home and garden store says it all, “Where passionate gardeners come to shop.” They showcase unique and beautiful garden supplies and container garden masterpieces on Instagram and it will make you swoon.
@urbangreengardens - Whenever we are in NY we scout out Thomas Little’s garden displays. His horticulture creations adorn the entrances of Chelsea Market, The Dutch, La Mercerie, Lafayette, Locanda Verda and Bubby’s, to name a few. Thomas’ creativity with plants and outdoor planters amaze and inspire us.
@provenwinners - The gorgeous plants and flowers pictured on Proven Winners’ Instagram page are definitely a pick me up in the dead of winter! We love learning about Proven Winners’ new plant varieties that are ideal for container gardens. They also showcase perennials, shrubs and edible plants…something for everyone!
