Getting It, Fast

Enter Rose Terrace thru a pair of gardenias. Get comfortable in an adirondack chair.
Hear the crunch of Shot Pea Gravel under foot.
.
Overhead, a cathedral of mature Crape Myrtle. Espaliered against the wall: tea olive, camellia, hydrangea, climbing rose. Edging for shot pea gravel, cherokee gray flagstone & rescued brick. View, embracing arms of hydrangeas & the Tea Olive Terrace with its pond-hedges-groundcovers.
.
Last December the Rose Terrace was a bed of hydrangea under the crape myrtles. Yawn. I wanted to ENJOY my garden. You know, wine/canapes with girlfriends.
.
Why is this new garden room FABULOUS FAST? Dahlings, I followed the rules.
.
Garden Design has a history of templates that work EVERY TIME.
.
Of course I had to get over myself to know this.
.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Pics taken last week in my garden. AND this new garden room was CHEAP.

Or you adapted the rules...or the rules appeared when you weren't looking!
