Hi GPODers!The queen of spring is back! At the end of March we were treated to the earliest blooms in Carla Zambelli Mudry in Malvern, Pennsylvania—if you missed those posts, check them out here: Early Spring Flowers in Carla’s Garden, Part 1 and Part 2. At the time, her landscape was just starting to come alive with a mix of hellebores, snowdrops, and daffodils. A little over a month later and her garden has absolutely exploded into color.

Happy Monday GPODers!There are many gardens we’ve been enjoying on the blog for years now, and it’s always incredible to see the transformations that occur from season to season and year to year. Some of these gardens are relatively new, like this colorful paradise Lizzi Gualtieri has created in Walla Walla, Washington, which can make the transformations even more evident and exciting.

Hi GPODers and Happy Earth Day!Today is the 55th annual celebration of Earth Day, which marks and serves as tribute to the start of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Started by Senator Gaylord Nelson and Denis Hayes, a young activist he recruited, the initial goal was to galvanize U.S. university students into activism against air and water pollution in a similar way to the anti-war protests that were happening at the time.
