FRONT PORCH IN A SUBDIVISION, FAST

Rare people implement landscape design quickly. What is quick? One year is a blink of the eye in the landscape realm. Jeri Farmer, retired marketing guru, moved in a year ago. In retirement? She owns, Le Jardin Blanc, with Susanne Hudson.
Jeri is hooked on white. With some blue. Susanne designed Jeri's garden overdosing Jeri's theme.

Jeri did something shocking. She implemented the plan, without wavering. And in a year has a garden life.


Landscapes, like people, are more defined by what they say no to.

"Men come to build sooner than to garden finely as if gardening were the greater art." Alexander Pope 17th century

  1. Blue and White are my fav colors too! The toile on the bench is pretty and lends elegance to the setting along with the crystal chandelier....yet everything looks relaxed and inviting.

  2. Oh I LOVE this front porch. And complete, of course, with Haint Blue (or close to it) on the ceiling.

    To have a garden that fast... envy. DIY takes a while.
