A Message From David
Hello, Summer!
Spring’s gentle bloom has given way to the bold, golden stretch of summer. The days are long and bright, filled with the hum of life and the scent of sun-warmed air. It’s the season of open doors, sun-soaked afternoons, and the sweet, slow rhythm of time well spent. Everything feels more alive, more radiant. Summer is here- and it’s inviting you to dive in.
At Groundswell Guild, we’re leaning into this shift by filling our spaces with color, texture, and items that breathe life into every room. Fresh flowers on the table, new corners to curl up in, small details that make home feel even more like home.
Here’s to fresh starts, brighter days, and finding beauty in the small moments.

Dig in the Dirt
One of the best ways to celebrate summer’s arrival is by giving your garden beds a seasonal refresh- clearing out the old and making room for vibrant new growth.
Adding a layer of compost improves the soil’s structure and nutrients, helping your plants thrive. Whether you’re growing flowers, herbs, or veggies, healthy soil is the foundation for a successful garden.
Plus, it's a great excuse to get your hands dirty and enjoy the fresh air!

Let’s make the most of the long days and warm nights with delicious meals, joyful moments, and plenty of time spent in the open air.

Elevate Your BBQ
Summer is the perfect time to fire up the grill and bring your cooking outdoors. A standout barbecue starts with bold flavors and top-notch ingredients. Begin with The French Farm BBQ Salt. Just a sprinkle is enough to elevate meats and veggies with rich, savory depth. Next, add a hit of tangy sweetness with American Spoon’s BBQ Sauce, a cookout essential that delivers big flavor. For even more inspiration, dive into Horn Barbecue by Matt Horn. This go-to guide is packed with expert tips and irresistible recipes. Whether you’re planning a laid-back afternoon with friends or a festive summer feast, these staples will take your grilling game to the next level.
Offer Your Guests a Cozy Throw
Even on the warmest summer days, the evenings can bring a gentle chill. To keep your guests comfortable, have a few light blankets or throws on hand. Drape them over outdoor chairs or create a grab-and-go basket so everyone can stay cozy as the sun sets. It’s an easy, thoughtful touch that lets the good times continue well into the night.
