Tucker takes time to smell the flowers! |
It's planting season and I took the opportunity to apply some of what I learned from Twyla Tharp to gardening. Here are my empty window boxes and front door container. This is what I consider my blank canvas or white room:
Now, Twyla style, it's time to do some scratching! So I went through Charlestown, Boston and the North End to see what's out there and took photos of window boxes and containers I liked. Purple, yellow and red are popular this year. It was interesting to see how different people incorporated color and plants to express their creativity.

Scratching inspired me and I wanted to find plants for my windows. I went to Mahoney's Garden Center to find fun varieties in great colors knowing that I would enjoy watching them grow.
I brought them home and created. They aren't as vibrant as the ones I saw through my walks around town but as they grow, I know they will bring me joy! Here is my finished product:
