A project of gardens thought everything for the fun: relaxation area, colorful flowers and plants and many ideas (all to copy) in order to organize the most popular feasts fun! Image credit by flickr.com (Maia C) Private garden can become the perfect place for the holidays with friends or family. Rule number one: color at will! Here are the ideas economic and easy to copy to organize in your garden an unforgettable feast! Base of the project, the garden is large and is first defined the hedge that circumscribes the ground. Driveway: garden provides a difficulty in more: a gentle slope. In order to circumvent the obstacle is designed an avenue in gravel. Garden furniture : such as furnishings are selected of the pallets in wood, adorned with colorful pillows. Economic Idea but of great effect. The green project of the green provides a wide lawn, but also many of the flowers of different colors that make the garden more lively! Garden finished : The final result is a colorful garden, w...

The aesthetic character of the garden is connected especially to two elements: the choice of plant species with selection of the best specimens and the distribution of crops according to an initial design that, including the choice of the site, the exposure or the ease of irrigation, represents the time typically architectural or design. Image credit by flickr.com (Dave Catchpole) In this planning the crops are distributed so that the garden, in all seasons, offers a pleasant aspect and flourishing, presenting itself as a nature in small, according to the idea that the beautiful can be isolated and highlighted by man by means of a choice between the shapes most beautiful present in nature. It is precisely the living element, the plants conveniently choices, which make the garden a work of art completely different from the others: the durability, stability, the effect, quality characteristics of the architecture, painting, sculpture are absent from the art of the gardens, subject to co...

My eye is always drawn to small details, touches that capture the special quality of an object, insignificant perhaps in the grand scheme of things, but none the less apparent to me...this is especially true in the garden.... The tiny green flower heads from a deciduous shrub have blown into a small bird bath and added a little touch of detail to an outdoor vignette...In direct competition with full blown white peonies in a vintage silver jug..... Weathered and aged garden ornaments softened by late afternoon light add detail to an entrance way...     Adding a corona trellis to a planter with fledgling annuals in early Spring adds detail to a garden urn..... Although the stone steps are holding there own in this corner of the garden, this rather formal garden accent adds detail to the soft ivy border..... I love the small wisps of tiny fern fronds which add detail to the base of this rusted and weathered planter... Adding accent planters to each side of the...

Well it appears that Picasa and Blogger are extending me some co-operation at the moment.. I am really attempting to exercise some patience with both...it is either all or nothing with them it seems!! Could it be that my nerves are somewhat a little frayed these days??? This past weekend my husband and I spent both days cutting back the ivy growing on our red brick house. Don't be alarmed...I managed to convince all the males involved with the renovations that it was staying as it was!!! We trimmed back just enough for them to work around the windows, so they could replace them and the shutters. As you can see from both the photos, above and below, the ivy, which has taken me approximately thirty years to grow was not going to be removed! It borders the stone walkways and is even climbing up the stately old trees... Today when I checked up on the progress of the framers, they had sheets of plywood and 2x10's laying on the ivy border near the front door...I gently and quickly re...

Yesterday, our temperature soared to 36 degrees Celsius, here in Niagara....and in the course of less than 48 hours the peonies went from buds to blooms! It was so hot and the humidity stifling, that I had to cut all the blooms at the risk of losing them overnight... ....our weather is continuing to be so unpredictable and by mid June I am fearful that the garden will be spent.....everything will have finished the growing cycle for the year.... ....I was able to fill a large zinc bucket and another sap bucket full of the cut blooms.... ....three plants growing in partial shade have still to bloom, so the peony parade isn't over as yet! I was surprised, since our winter was very mild, the plants yielded bountiful bouquets..... .....Perfect for a early June wedding...... ....they look like fluffs of meringue..... ....a small delicate wisp of porcelain vine, adds just a touch of movement and interest.... .....could see this in a bridal bouquet, don't you think? ......such short li...
