Designing & Growing A New Flower Bed with Miracle-Gro™ flower magic & A Gardening Gift Giveaway! #flowermagicCA

I am so excited to begin this new gardening project. You see, my husband and I have been talking about building some raised flower & vegetable beds in our back yard for some time now, and we are finally going to put our small dreams into action. The plan is to have a series of both small and large raised beds built into this small flat area of our yard which has a retaining wall to hold back the higher elevation. We plan to add herbs, vegetables and a cutting flower garden for me! I have wanted a cutting garden since forever...you know...one of those adorable little flower gardens which not only look pretty but provide a place where I can go in my slippers and apron to cut a few stems to fill some vases with beautiful fresh flowers whenever the mood strikes.

In order to make these raised beds, my husband recycled some pressure treated 6" x 6" posts we already had and cut them to length to fit the space. Then we added some top soil to prepare the bed for planting. Now we wait for the threat of snow to move out of the forecast before I go ahead and plant the beds.

For this project, I am excited to use this brand new Miracle-Gro flower magic™­ product. It's a flower seed mix from Miracle-Gro that includes flower seeds, fertilizer and coir {a super absorbent growing material}that shakes on a garden in minutes and blooms all summer long. Miracle-Gro flower magic™ comes in two mixes...a Multicolour Mix which includes up to 29 varieties of flower seeds,  and a Pink & White Mix which includes up to 16 varieties of flower seeds. It's available wherever you find Miracle-Gro gardening products and retails for  $16.99. I think it would also make a fantastic Mother's Day gift too!

For busy families, this is a perfect way to grow some gorgeous flowers without getting dirty or spending a ton of time buying seeds, preparing and planting. Miracle-Gro understands that everyone wants beautiful flowers in their garden and makes it easy and effortless with this fantastic mix. It's simply SHAKE, WATER & GROW!

I am going to shake on the Miracle-Gro flower magic™ this weekend and I am going to share with you each week how this raised flower bed is going to be transformed into a beautiful flower garden. So please stop by each week for 6 weeks and see how my garden progresses! And let me tell you, I am really excited to SHAKE, WATER & GROW! I mean...how easy is that? Want to learn more? Just watch this video to see how easy it is to grow your own gorgeous flowers too!
