On these February mornings, I marvel at the changing nuance of the earth’s orbit around the sun. The sun appears low across the sky, yet is starting to ascend to a new path. February sunshine starts to give away the secret of a spring to come.

The new year brings fresh ideas, and like most, our dewy eyed, new year’s aspirations are filled with great plans for 2022. 

Our curated selections to give the most thoughtful gifts this season.

This holiday entertaining season, look beyond your stark white china and think about Grandma’s dishes in storage! Consider a mix and match aesthetic, introducing vintage pieces to your tabletop.

Winter container season is different from all other seasons. Our gardeners transform into floral designers as they use fresh-cut seasonal pieces to create full, lush winter looks with no living plants.

While much of the natural world indeed prepares for the slumber of winter, there are those that come to life during these months of blanketed bliss. 

Evergreens in the landscape are the bones of the garden, keeping it orderly and interesting year round. When the winter winds come, evergreens that are not protected in the fall have a higher chance of “burning.”

To my fellow Scorpios and some Sagittarians, our birth month is upon us. Time to celebrate! At fleurdetroit, November is the kickoff to the holidays, and all that surrounds holiday décor and design.

There's nothing better than a beautiful fall grape vine wreath embellished in the season's best natural materials to bring in the new season. Here’s our favorite step-by-step process for creating a custom wreath—a wonderful addition to any home for fall!

To try to save or not to save? With the proper grooming, light source, and airflow, some of your outdoor plants can certainly be relocated for the season, but others just aren't worth the hassle. We share our tips and tricks to help you decide! 

Spring and summer may be thought of as planting season, but at fleurdetroit, fall is equally busy. Our custom container team is busy planting cold hardy plants and flowers that come together to celebrate the change of season.

If you really want to make a statement this year—avoid the plastic pumpkins! Festive holiday decor doesn't have to be basic. Go bold with your plan and introduce your favorite elevated design elements outdoors for an updated, modern Halloween display.
