You may recall that way back in April Nest in Style podcast hosts Jayme Jenkins and Teresa O’Connor teamed up with Proven Winners to give several lucky listeners a great big box of Proven Winners plants. (See the original post.)
Drew Shields was one of the winners, whose names were drawn randomly. Since Hurricane Irene kept him cooped up indoors over the weekend, he took the time to e-mail me some photos of how he used his prize plants. Here are his container gardens. (Click each image for a larger view.) I think you’ll agree these plants found a very good home!
Oh—and how did they survive the storm? Just fine! They rode it out in Drew’s garage.
-
- Drew’s clever “aquarium garden”!
-
- A purple and white theme.
-
- Drew found the ‘Dark Knight’ coleus does well in sun.
-
- ‘Dark Knight’ did equally well in shade.
-
- Ornamental peppers and purple fountain grass on front steps.
-
- ‘Petite Pink’ guara as a focal point.
-
- Proven Winners thyme and basil joined Drew’s potted herb garden.
