I get asked all the time whether the FG staffers are actually gardeners or even have gardens. Luckily, the answer is YES! For example, check out these containers created by our very own art director, Stephanie Fagan, last summer. Nice, eh?! We practice what we preach around here, thank you very much. :oD

    THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

    I LIKE THAT THEY HAVE ALL THREE INGREDIENTS FOR A GREAT CONTAINER.

    THRILLER, FILLER, AND SPILLER!

    Just lovely, I like the one with the potato vine the best they are so dramatic.

    Beautiful. Would Ms Fagan mind sharing the names of the plants she has included in this container?

  5. sheilaschultz 05/05/2011

    Great containers, Stephanie, love the colors and textures. Do we get to see more from other staffers?

    It's the look of peace and quiet, has a cool look, wish I were that good at putting plants together.

    It is hard to work at FG and not garden.

    Here is a link to some containers Michelle and I did:

    And a healthy fraction of the plant shots that show up in the magazine were taken in our gardens.
