Gallery: Season-Long Color At A Home In South Burlington

Yellow house porch surrounded by colorful seasonal flower beds in South Burlington, Vermont

When we first headed out to her home, this client had a great foundation for a gorgeous landscape. They had well-built rock walls and a patio in their backyard and a lovely brick path leading to their front door. We didn’t need to hardscape at their home, but they were looking to create big gardens throughout the property with color, color, color.

We created a variety of perennial beds in the front and back part of their property with varieties that bloom from spring to fall. We also go to their home each spring to plant long-lasting annuals to the garden beds to make them feel more full and to help extend that big color throughout the season. We went out there a couple of weeks ago to capture the beauty in the late summer. We hope you enjoy the gardens as much as we do!

But, what also comes to mind is the unforgiving cold temps and crispy dry air that can wreak havoc on our indoor plants. Recently, this has made me think to cater my indoor plant choices to ones that will thrive in all seasons of the year- without having to go through the extra effort of spritzing the leaves and setting up the humidifier near our high maintenance, winter hating plants. The top five indoor plants that thrive throughout the winter season are:
