This season’s projects

If you haven’t guessed, this season is all about Flower Power! While we ride out the measures that are keeping us safe, celebrate this season with colour and texture in our homage to Mother Nature. Creativity and technique abound with projects to transform your indoor/outdoor space into a destination.
