‘Ostrich Fern can add height and dimension to your garden,’ notes Laura Janney, gardening expert, botanical stylist, and founder of The Inspired Garden.
‘Tall, lanky, columnar spires of large cup-shape flowers of pink, red, purple, or white make the hollyhock a classic in cottage gardens,’ Laura Janney, founder and owner of The Inspired Garden, says. ‘They epitomize Victorian charm like no other. Dramatic and whimsical, their bell-shaped blossoms add a touch of enchantment to any garden.’
‘Osteospermum comes in a variety of bold colors, and the roundness of the blooms makes for a nice pop of color in the basket,’ says Laura Janney, owner of The Inspired Garden.
‘For a Mediterranean garden that transports your backyard to a vacation paradise, think about incorporating plants with cool tones and interesting textures,’ says New Jersey based Laura Janney, gardening expert, botanical stylist, and founder of The Inspired Garden.
‘Always feed your plants and shrubs early in the morning or evening when it is cooler out,’ says Laura Janney, owner at The Inspired Garden. ‘Soaking up all those good nutrients takes energy from the plant and we don’t want to have to compete with heat and possibly stress the plants.’

Get Ahead This Fall: Plan Your Dream Garden for 2025 With The Inspired Garden
As fall approaches, take advantage of this great time to assess your garden and start planning for the year ahead! With the leaves still on the trees, we can better gauge your garden’s lighting conditions — something that can be misleading in the early spring when more sunlight filters through. Plus, with perennials and shrubs still green, now is the ideal moment to take stock of the blooms you loved this past season, consider what might need a refresh, or even plan a full rejuvenation of your space. You can also use this time to get a head start on Spring 2025 by refreshing new foundation shrubs.
Make the most of the fall season, no matter your zone or growing conditions, The Inspired Garden is here to guide you with our expert remote consultations. Our process is simple:
- Purchase the consult
