Readers and fans of Garden
Glamour know I adore BloemBox
and its artful creations.
The romance and whimsy of horticulture couldn’t be more squeal
inducing than in this line of gift-boxed seeds or bulbs that shape-shift as
fashion.
In fact, there should be a Botanical Green Carpet!
Every year brings a newly-designed BloemBox (Dutch for
“flower”) collection: from Specialty Wildflower Gardens to Habitat Gardens with
bumble bees or butterfly to Mini Hangings to Veggie & Herb Gardens.
The original creations are confections to give or collect.
Or use as the perfect Spring Holiday tablescape fantasy and
gift swag.
Your dining table will transform to a shimmering garden with
eye-popping color – think Pink, Blue, Yellow, Tangerine, and Green: The Color
of the Year, don’t forget.
All BloemBox designs are adorned or accessorized with floral
and vegetable garnish or sweet-as-Disney pollinators including hummingbirds,
bumble bees, and birds.
An instant conversation starter is to name all the
flowers.
You decide whether to require the flower’s common name or
the botanical nomenclature. Ha.
Choose from this season’s Poppies, or Dogtooth Daisy,
Delphinium, French Marigold Cornflower, Maltese Cross, Zinnia’s, Wildflowers, scarlet
sage, lemon mint, and edibles such as red and green French lettuce, royal
purple Italian Heirloom eggplant or Nantes carrot and herb creations to create
a dazzling, irresistible bouquet.
Leave it to a woman to Lean
In in just the right – make that, green- way.
Take that, Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg.
Wrapped around the BloemBox collections is a woman’s entrepreneurial
success story.
In the happy world of BloemBox - founder, product designer and
botanist (love that!) Laura Quatrochi, is a visionary and hard working plant
lover who cultivated her horticulture roots as a scientist and her creative
charm, to produce a collection of glamorous, too-cute seeds or bulbs,
discretely sheathed in the chic tissue paper slip, er, biodegradable ribbon
sleeve, tucked inside the BloemBox signature lime-green, petite, glossy, hatbox
that looks for all the world like it is channeling Lily Pulitzer and those hot
Palm Beach colors.
This year, Quatrochi is channeling Mother Nature herself and
has introduced the Poppy Collection in homage to the company’s signature
flower, the Shirley Poppy, Papaver
rhoeas.
Garden Love
What better romantic suitor is there? BloemBox arrives with
flowers, poems, seed “jewels” and love…. How glamorous!
BloemBox is the perfect Hostess Gift, too.
All BloemBox designs come gift wrapped with the corresponding
silk flower or vegetable perched atop the preppy green box, 5’ of plantable
tissue paper seed sleeve, tied up with a fetching ribbon, care instructions (a
gardener can’t be too meticulous), a gift tag and a poetic reference to the
flower.
Did I mention that Oprah and Paula Deen are among the celebrity
BloemBox fans, having showcased the garden jewels to attract “happiness”?
I double-dare you and your guests not to smile when the look is a
glamorous, layered arrangement of color, texture, and blooms - ready to go from
BloemBox.
No floral arrangement or gardening resume required...

I wanted to add Laura Quatrochi, BloemBox designer pointed out that the spring Poppy Collection was inspired by their customers who love poppies. "So it was time to merge three poppies from two of our BloemBox assortments (Originals and Perennials) and add three new poppies to make a Poppy Assortment! How much do you love that?!
