The Bills make me wanna PLANT!
A red, white, and blue garden design.
Buffalo Bills fans know that allegiance to their team extends beyond the tailgates and game days. For many, it's a year-round passion. So, why not celebrate your love for the Buffalo Bills by turning a piece of your outdoor space into a team-themed garden? It’s a great way to express your fan love, even when it's not football season.
When I create gardens, I want something to be blooming throughout the growing season. This isn’t limited to flowers- the color, texture, and shape of foliage can create visual interest too! Below are the renderings of the garden in spring, summer, and fall. The blueprint and the renderings depict the plants at maturity- your newly purchased plants will be much smaller, so be sure to keep the mature height and width in mind when placing your plants!
