Children, grandchildren, caretaking elderly parents, a beach house. And, a husband.
Time for a needy garden? None.
Have been working with this garden & in awe of her simplicity for over a decade. Most important, she's always known she did not want her garden to have 'flowers' as the focus. Greens & shapes are her 'thing'. Humbling, she began where I took decades to arrive.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Why exactly would garden centers wish you to have a garden like hers? Not much to sell you thru the years.

Sadly, French doors in top pic are new. Never fun to spend money on infrastructure. Bling is more fun.

Lucky me, yet another Southern matriarch to work with & know. Why is that special? Enjoying their knowing laughter about life.
They might not be fun to buy but the doors do look pretty.
ReplyDeleteWell this is just lovely. So many would look at this and think it's boring and unfinished. But it's genius. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the evolution of a gardener. From being gobsmacked by blooms to seeing the lasting beauty in woody plants and the less in your face beauty of leaf shape and shades of green.
ReplyDeleteThe gardens you work with over time are like old friends, aren't they? Must be wonderful to watch them evolve.
