“As a younger brand, it’s important that we continue to differentiate and offer the market unique, premium value,” said Madison House, consumer marketing manager. “Young homeowners are already using augmented reality through retail experiences from Ikea and Nike — why not give them a fun try-before-you-buy experience with buddleias and hydrangeas?” 

Bloomin’ Easy partnered with Home Outside to create its new AR experience. The designers and developers at Home Outside are led by founder and CEO Julie Moir Messervy, recognized industry wide for her high-profile design projects, international lectures and published works. Bloomin’ Easy sees Home Outside as leaders in bringing the latest landscape design tech directly to the booming group of young homeowners they’re each focused on serving.
