Sacred or Profane in Design

Since last week, when I first saw this garden, below, I've been thinking about how simply designed,  within a framework of total design, by someone with a wisdom of Nature, time across historical perspective, aesthetics, grief, continents, the sky, tilt of the Earth, seasons, meals, human foot, cars, tractors, laughter, guests, owner/s, caretaker/s, solitude, children, galas, scent, sound, wheelbarrows, terra cotta, gravel, Tara Turf, human hands, mending of spirit, abiding, atonement.  For starters.  

Nothing major has been done, above, or every element is minutely chosen.

.

Which camp are you in?

.

My camp is organic design.  Everything minutely chosen to look like nothing major has been done.

.

Design to feed Nature, and Spirit.

.

As Bunny Mellon designed, "Don't let it show."

.

Garden & Be Well,    XO Tara

.

Can you guess which country this garden is in?  Era?  More signs of a good garden.

.

We can visit this garden, and spend the night, it's in Provence, a B&B, Chateau Talaud.  

.

This, and more, on my Pinterest board.

.

Organic design has no personal ego, yet total ego in belief.  More than designing a place of abiding & atonement, it is a sacrament.

Read a title, years ago, creating simplicity in organic design, "The Sacred and The Profane."
