At year 6 in the garden my eyes were overwhelmed, finally, by something tried from inception. A VISION OF BEAUTY.
( Laskett, below, in the Conservatory with me last nite.) College for horticulture was a joke for my Landscape Design skills. Creating Landscapes (making mistakes) & myriad trips across Europe studying historic Landscapes were my teachers.
Hewing to historical Landscape Design principles began my journey to success.
Ridiculously stupid to wait 6 years for beauty or lower the bar and aim for: organic, rainwater, native, low-maintenance, green & etc...
Those facets are in Historical Landscape Design Principles. Of course I want all of that, more, I want
life changing beauty. And I want it daily,
it's important to know when to be selfish. To walk amongst, and, see from every window. Vanishing Threshold. A Landscape filling me with energy, joy & grace.
A dream for years my conservatory, 1 week old today, gave me the surprise of
Laskett. He adores being carried to the conservatory in the evenings, a nice fire & cuddling at my side.
A simple life pleasure; not anticipated. A good surprise indeed.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Want good surprises in your Landscape? Hew to historic landscapes. In addition to all of the above historic landscapes raise property value & reduce HVAC costs. As byproducts not effort.
