However, the need to shelter-in-place for months on end saw the emergence of many brand new plant parents and there was a swift transition from fields of endless flowers, to at-home jungles that made us feel alive! Now, there’s a thriving community of ‘Grammers whose content is dedicated wholly and solely to sharing visuals of their greenery. So today, we’re sharing a few tips on how to make your garden photos truly stand out using AirBrush, the easy photo editor.
