We LOVE LOVE LOVE Scottsdale Farms! If you are looking for something to do any day of the week, just pack up the fam (or head out for some quiet time) and stop in at Scottsdale. Their amazing selection of plants, home decor and helpful staff is great. We have taken pictures to them of different areas around our yard and they helped select plants suitable for those areas (and our limited plant caring abilities). Don’t forget to stop by their cafe for lunch, coffee or an after-school snack!

So, now that we have these smancy gates at our front entrance, we needed to spruce them up with some landscaping. We don’t have an irrigation system (yet) so Luca, the owner of Scottsdale, helped us select plants that would be fairly low maintenance once they were past their initial introduction phase. Planting in the summer is not easy and we have been watering daily just to keep up with the heat, but the end product was more than I could have asked for!
