Susanne created the Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival honoring 2 loves, a plant & a friend.
In her town, Douglasville, GA, Susanne is proof, Build it & they will come.
Susanne asked me to speak to her garden club last year. That venue was her wildly successful wedding & events business, Le Jardin Blanc.
This year I spoke at the Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival. It was last Saturday.
Trams shuttled visitors to speaking venues, tented vendors & open gardens.
After speaking it became pure garden fantasy. Seeing Susanne's garden.
Her front porch took 1/2 hour.
Her home is on the historic register.
Green, brown & white are Susanne's favorite colors to use in the garden.
Oh my, the timelessness of Susanne's design.
She creates realms of calm repose. Simply..
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
It's places like this that help cure me being a style bigot. If you described the place in words, I'd say it wasn't my style. Seeing it, I'd give it a blue ribbon. How do you get pictures with nobody sitting in those chairs? Once I got on that porch, you'd need policeman to get me off.
ReplyDeleteExactly Terry. And Susanne's garden is so fabulous you're inspired to take away ideas for creating ANY era landscape style.
ReplyDeleteI'm ahead of you, I invited myself back to Susanne's garden later this month AND I'm spending the night. No dust under my feet when it's important.

Like a tall glass of iced-tea on a hot Georgia afternoon. ahhhhh.

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful....I LOVE front porches. I was searching the blog world for ideas to decorate my small front porch. It's not nearly as big as this one...but you've given me some good ideas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello, I first saw Susanne's place on HGTV and just fell in love with it. I know it's an older post but just had to comment on it. Could I possibly use your pics to do an upcoming post on her. I'd give you credit of course. Thanks, Theresa
