Legacy is built — one wagon load at a time. 🌿

The Cottage Gardens team had a busy day planting at Arnolds Park Amusement Park — a project that’s been part of our story for many years. From building the process to still being hands-on today, it’s special to watch these traditions (and plants) continue to grow season after season.

Alongside the iconic hanging baskets, we also planted the park planters with one of our favorite combinations:
💜 1 Waikiki Colocasia (center)
❤️ 4 Red SunPatiens
🤍 4 White SunPatiens
💚 12 Lysimachia spilling around the edge

Love the look? Stop by the greenhouse and recreate it in your own containers this season.

Special thanks to the amazing crew and our partners at Imagine Iowa Great Lakes and Arnolds Park Amusement Park for helping bring another summer to life!
