July 1, 2026
As we enter into the month of July, signs of true patriotism are on display in expansive garden beds, thoughtfully curated botanical vignettes, in terra cotta and ceramic pots overflowing with color and front doors adorned with American flags. A groundswell of national pride for our great country is filling hearts and homes across the United States of America.
To conclude our patriotic journey over these past five months, please enjoy taking in the beauty and creativity of countless people who joined in to say, “RED, WHITE and BLUE…WE LOVE YOU!”
