Gardeners are getting scammed… and most don’t realize it 🌿🚨 If you see hostas like these online - even on trusted sites like @etsy or @ebay — keep your wallet CLOSED. Real hostas do NOT come in neon blue, glowing green, or rainbow foliage. I grow over 1,000 varieties, and trust me… if something looks like it was grown on another planet, it probably was (in Photoshop). Save this so you don’t fall for it — and send it to a gardener before they waste their money. Follow @lazytoadfarmer for smarte

The next toad theme is… FRUIT FROGS 🐸🍉🥝🍊 The fairies and rainbow collection was so much fun to make, but it’s time to get going with the next batch!! I’m thinking fruit frogs of all varieties AND🥁🥁🥁 Bug sculptures for the wall! After the last collection I’ve been wanting to sculpt some beetles and bugs. Fruit and bugs make sense together, right?🍓🐜 #kilnopening #artreveal #ceramicsculpture #fairycoreaesthetic #frogcore #rainbowart | Kalliope Yvonne Ceramics

Bloom alert! 🪷 Water lilies and lotuses have started blooming in Lily Pool Terrace. The pools are planted with nearly 100 varieties of hardy and tropical water-lilies and sacred lotuses. Lotuses can resemble water-lilies, but lotus flowers and leaves tend to stretch above the surface instead of floating. BBG gardener Wayken Shaw estimates these blooms will continue blooming beautifully through August. Follow our socials and subscribe to our email newsletter for more updates. | Brooklyn Botanic
