Each month over the last few years, we've shared a great piece of garden-related art. All through 2022 we're looking at Blossfeldt plant photos.

Of course, those with a greater area to water might feel that the time-saving benefits of automatic irrigation are a blessing. A tiny garden will...
Rosewood has been sharing beautiful art for garden lovers ever since we started our blog and social media posting. In 2021, we shared a modern flower painting each month. For 2022, we plan to bring you images by the German sculptor and photographer Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932). The artist is most...
