Architectural Eye Candy

September’s air temperatures are finally falling and it’s our favorite time to relish the outdoors again! Meals can finally be served outdoors while loved ones lounge at their leisure around the dining table. Patio yoga can transpire without perspiration at the first sun salutation.  Morning coffee can be sipped serenely and evening happy hour with the neighbors can once again be savored. So, inhale the autumn air, pull up a cozy seat, and enjoy our carefully curated collection of architectural eye candy featuring posh plants, furnishings, and outdoor decor.

Architectural Plants

Enhance your ambiance the natural way with some of our favorite architectural plants. We love highlighting foliage in a fabulous planter, underplanting with ground cover, exposing bamboo stalks, or merely providing a basic, beautiful backdrop to shine the spotlight onto a show stopper.
