You’re not the best with plants: roses whither, chrysanthemums wilt, begonias shrivel. Even weeds drop dead in your presence.

Don’t subject the poor things to your ineptitude. Back away from the trowel and let Anne Gould of Poppy florist tend to your spring flowers with one of her custom window box designs.

After your initial consultation with Gould — whose specialty is classic English gardens — she’ll create a floral scheme that reflects your personal style and complements your home’s exterior. Picture delicate violas accented with apple blossom for height or pansies threaded with wild green ivy. She’ll even plant your favorite veggies or a bunch of herbs.

All of which are sure to give you a live-and-let-live attitude.
