Spring Field Trip to My Favorite Nursery

Thursday, April 5, 2018

Happy Thursday, My Lovelies!  Recently I visited my favorite nursery in Birmingham: Leaf 'n Petal in Cahaba Heights.  They recently moved into a new location just a block or so from their old store, and I am so enamored!  The store is beautiful, and so is the greenhouse.  The Crestline Bagel Company is on the premises, so hungry shoppers can get a snack and eat it outside in the sunshine!



The displays are stunning, and there are beautiful vintage birdcages throughout the store.  
This orchid display is in the front of the store.






There's a small corner for books, and most of them are about gardening.  I went in the store to purchase a fern, but I got distracted.  Do you think I bought a book, too?






Aren't these doors stunning!  The fixtures in the store are so pretty!




One of the wonderful Southern gardening books (but not the one I bought)


I also got some great ideas for our containers outside and in the greenhouse.  I can't wait to plant next week!



An Easter basket full of hydrangeas at our church.  The Leaf 'n Petal is up the street, and I wonder if these were purchased there.


Are you planning your spring plantings?  Will you plant lots of container gardens this spring?

Until next time...

Blessings!
Ricki Jill

  3. On my agenda for tomorrow! I saw your previous post about this, but did not realize they must have moved a few days after we had been there. I have a serious case of Spring Fever!

  6. So pretty! I don't know if spring will ever arrive, but I look forward to loads of herbs again. My sweet peas and black-eyed susans are perennials so that job is done! I'll add a few begonias or impatiens around the edge of the hosta garden and maybe some big pots of geraniums. We'll see!

  8. Pretty! Looking forward to spring here, but I'm currently eating crow for calling spring in my region with late February balmy weather. We're forecast for snow tomorrow - ugh! Have a great weekend.

  10. Very pretty! I wish I could be planning Spring. I think Winte is never going to end. Sunday we are supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow. I am so ready to get into my flower beds and garden. I will be doing a container butterfly garden for my Mom in memory of my sister. I can't wait to see your containers.
