A Sentimental Garden Tour

Gardener Carmen Collins has created a front-yard garden at her Atlanta home that focuses on giving. Collins has planted flowers to create cut-flower arrangements for friends as well as special flowers of personal significance to her family that bloom on birthdays. You can follow Collins' garden adventures at Twitter (@CraftSoc) and on Instagram (@CraftingSociety).

Collins features azalea bushes in her home garden for their vibrant spring blossoms.

Dozens of tulip varieties, all brightly colored welcome spring to this home garden in a big way.

Complementary colors of orange and bright pink really pop in this garden. "When I look for flowers to plant I look for perennials that can work as cut flowers to arrange, give as gifts and bring the garden indoors," says Atlanta gardener Carmen Collins.
