Happy Monday GPODers!
We’re starting the week off with a colorful garden transformation in Northridge, California. Terry Sanders shared her flower-filled garden in SoCal earlier this year (Terry’s California Garden), but today we’re looking at a specific garden project that was completed this summer.
Terry had a perfect spot next to her pool shed for a fabulous container garden, but the space needed a revamp to match her obvious love for color.
Particularly for a gardener who embraces whimsy and bright, fun colors. Terry’s first step was taking the pool shed itself from a bland, beige backdrop to a colorful cottage with year-round flower power.
Now the tiered shelf is the perfect spot for Terry’s cool cacti collection, becoming a cohesive part of a corner full of interest rather than lone plantings that aren’t connected to the rest of her garden.
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible garden project with us, Terry! While I could go on for ages about the excitement and fun you added to the space, the before and after truly speaks for itself.
If you’ve completed any garden projects like Terry has this summer, we’d love to see what you created (even if you forgot to take before pictures, like I always do). Follow the directions below to submit your photos.

Very creative!
Love this colorful, whimsical space! That metal sunflower sculpture is wonderful, too. You have an artist's eye.
