Part 2: Meet the 2023 Proven Winners® Recipes of the Year!
While there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the beauty of a plant on its own, one of the great thrills of gardening is exploring how different plants can be arranged together to create something new. Much like paint on canvas- the right mix of colors, textures, and shapes can blend into a captivating work of art.
With that being said, we know how much time and research goes into creating the perfect basket. Not knowing if a combination is going to turn out as expected can be a nerve-wracking process to say the least.
