Believe it or not, Boston is finally beginning to bloom. Since it was such a gorgeous day this past Sunday I was keen to get out and wander around the city to steal a few ideas get some inspiration.

This darling row of bunnies hopping through the garden sure caught my eye amidst the fairies and other garden critters. How cute is that?

I also spotted two lovely front-door wreaths. One was made from yellow forsythia branches and the other is made from pussy willow branches. I love them both, don’t you? (you can click on the photos to enlarge).

However, since I live in a condo, and I don’t have decorating rights to a front garden or a front door of my own, I was more focused on window box and container plantings and there were plenty of beautiful spring arrangements to be found.

I love the use of the pussy willow stems to give some height in these window boxes and aren’t the little bunnies and eggs a fun touch for Easter?

When it comes to window boxes I’m always looking for something a little unique and that was certainly the first word that came to mind when I spotted these primroses growing in running shoes atop a row of window boxes (bottom right). Do you think it’s ever possible to be a little too unique??

Well, I hope these spring blooms have inspired you as they did me.
