Now back to our regularly scheduled newsletter...

Hooray for the SUN! The sun finally arrived in my rainy garden and now everything is growing like crazy.

I spent my time cleaning up, weeding, and pruning to get things back into shape (like my back!). Since that isn't all that blog-worthy, thankfully we had two talented gardeners join me this week to share their ideas for summering houseplants and painting beehives. And I reminisced about amazing floating planters that I saw on my trip to the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival and shared the DIY instructions for making one at home. So cool!

This week, Garden Therapy sure is bursting with color. Check it out:

I saw a ton of these floating planters in ponds and lakes on my recent visit to Florida and fell in love with them. What a beautiful way to add a floral pop to a backyard water feature!
