Faulkner Lifestyle Aug/Sept 2020

like family, as we bought our first
two at Plant Outlet 20 years ago. We
now have eight large ones, some of
which I harvested as baby sprouts that
grew off of the base of the palm and
have grown into beautiful palms. We
have to move them to the garage each
winter, which is getting a bit out of
hand,” laughs Lynne. “It’s about time
for some of them to go to new homes!”
In addition to her beloved palms,
Lynne has planted several varieties for
use in floral designs for wedding receptions,
such as olive trees, hydrangeas,
pittosporum, and peonies. “I use a lot
of evergreen plants in containers, as
they can stay out year-round.” The
majority of the flowers, shrubs, and
containers were purchased at Plant
Outlet, Lumber One in Mayflower,
and Haynes Ace Hardware.
Other recent changes include
updated exterior paint, done by Chuy
Mendez with Chuy’s Painting LLC
(mpaintcontractors@att.net). “We
went from a darker taupe to a bright
off-white. I have always been a fan of
classic black and white, and the new
color inspired me to update some of
the outdoor decor.”
