Germany





My very first time in Germany was so lovely! Flower friends, you would not believe how many flowers were in bloom and pouring out of window ledges, out of flower pots & shops, and even over rooftops! Behind the veil of fog and cold weather, it felt like Germany was in full bloom! 

It was very inspiring getting to see how they put flowers together (hello neon-hot Kale) and I came back ready to hit the pavement with a plethora of ideas! What was especially lovely was their constant use of wildflowers--it looked like someone went out to the fields and forests very early in the morning and picked a handful of different variations and put it all together.  

Care for a couple more pics?

  1. So lovely!!! Thanks for posting your pics. Definitely looks like an inspiring trip. I'm been itching to get to Berlin for the last couple years--where did you spend most of your time?

  2. Thanks Natalie! We didn't make it to Berlin, only Frankfurt & Heidelberg. You definitely should make a trip and GO! We can't wait to spend more time in Germany :)

  3. Oh, that was one of my favorite things about Germany! I loved all the flowers available at the food markets - much better than what's available at supermarkets in the states.
