try planting lavender in your garden

💜 I love to be bathed in the scent of lavender while gardening. It’s my favorite kind of aromatherapy.

 

💜 And it’s quite elegant to add a little posy of lavender to each place setting when you're setting springtime or summertime table.

 

💜 In southern California, now’s the perfect time to plant lavender. 

💜 Bursting with fragrant blooms, irresistible to pollinators, and waterwise too - this miracle plant has it all.

💜I always look forward to celebrating Lavender Days at Armstrong Gardens during the month of May. 

 

💜What makes it so much fun is that Armstrong’s has activities, classes and lots of beautiful lavender varieties that weekend in May. 

💜Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks, and I’ll share the exact dates with you.

💜In case you haven’t heard, I started a new Instagram page in October and named it Claudia Fabiana Home. My former page is still up, but after getting a new phone, I was no longer able to log into this account, so the new profile was born!

 

💜I hope you’ll follow along with me on Instagram for all the latest projects and décor I will be sharing in 2025.

time in the garden

It’s been so nice out,

that I’ve been spending all my free time out in the garden.

After the winter months,

my garden was in need of some TLC,

so I’ve been busy pruning and planting…

mostly lavender and herbs.

I love how the lavender, thyme, rosemary,

mint, sage and oregano mix so well with my aloes

that are in bloom right now.

And the fruit trees are starting to blossom…

lemon, orange, apple and my very cool  pineapple guava.

The pineapple guava is a large tree-like shrub that has

pretty edible flowers in the spring 

and then later on in the summer,

it will bear little green fruit that are

super sweet and have a unique tropical flavor...

so yummy!

I’m also filling in with some of my favorite annual plants 

like cosmos and foxglove that are in the

lovely purple and pink color family.

There’s also a special project I’m working on…

zhushing up my garden shed.

I’m claiming the space as all-mine

so I have a few special things I’m working on 

and will be able to share it 

with you all very soon!

💚

do something amazing today! 

ciao,  fabiana
