Flowerscapes Garden Design & Landscape

I love how magnificent nature is in her simplest and most magnificent scenes and moments. Flowers, water, clouds all exude emotions. Yet perhaps because it's only twice per year out here, or so far, far away, watching the night sky and wishing upon shooting stars brings me closest to the spirituality, excitement and romance of nature and her entire universe. To wishing upon a falling star! Two years ago I saw four huge shooting stars in front of my house.

If your area is like mine for the last two weeks, we have had a lot of "little" rains, drizzle and some showers. This makes it hard to figure out if you need to water your yard. A simple rain gauge is a great way to see if your yard has received adequate water from the sky or the ground. In metro Atlanta most of the plants and lawns typically need 1 inch of water per week. A good rule of thumb is to water one half inch twice per week for the lawn, and 2-3 times per week for shrubs and flowers. I have a cute little rain gauge on my deck and so far this week I haven't received enough rain to add up to an inch, but I think my plants and lawn have had so much constant moisture on them that I feel the leaves need a break and not watering. If the hydrangeas start to droop, I will go back to the rule of thumb and turn on the sprinklers to get to 1 inch per week.

Georgia residents: please be on the lookout for Yellow-legged Hornet secondary nests. If you spot a nest like the one pictured, contact the Plant Protection team at [email protected].

Your help is critical. The Yellow-legged Hornet poses a serious threat to Georgia’s pollinators and to agriculture—our state’s number one industry.

And I thought the purple Angelonia would only attract hummingbirds… no need to worry the hawk has been leaving them alone.

Celebrating April 15, 2026 and 24!! The power of pink ~ 24 extra wonderfully amazing years from diagnosis of breast cancer, 24 years of the power of G-d, power of amazing doctors, power of great friends and the making of new friends! Today my gardens are abloom in pink, from trees, shrubs, roses, annuals and perennials, as if dancing with me in delight of survival and re-birth. A few pink dogwood blossoms joined the dance as the breeze picked up. Thank you everyone, thank you G-d!! I am a survivor and it’s unbelievable fate that I found the right doctors! Ani modeh.
