Flowers & Roses: The Heart of Every Garden

[TEG Project Manager]

Flowers have a way of stealing the show in any garden. They’re not just pretty faces - they attract pollinators, add fragrance, and bring a burst of joy every time you step outside. And then there are roses, the divas of the flower world. Some gardeners swear by them, others swear at them (all those thorns!), but no one can deny their timeless charm.

Whether you grow bold sunflowers that tower over the yard, cheerful marigolds that keep pests away, or delicate roses that make you stop and admire, flowers have a way of making a garden feel complete.

Which flowers do you love growing most?
Do you have a favorite rose variety (or one you’ve always dreamed of planting)?
Any tips for keeping blooms healthy, vibrant, and long-lasting?

Let’s celebrate the blooms we love, the ones that challenged us, and the flowers that made our gardens feel a little more magical.
