We have had several weeks of continual thunderstorms in my neck of the woods. It’s a bit frustrating as overcast skies do not make fine friends when trying to shoot design photography. But I don’t want to dwell on the lack of sun. So I thought I would share images from an article I recently found about outdoor garden rooms. Gypsy Caravans, Shepherd Huts, and Tin Tabernacles. The article included traditional greenhouse and conservatory type spaces that England is famous for. But it was a ... View the Post
New Updates and Curtains for the Garden Shed
Happy Monday my friends! Today let's talk about New Updates and Curtains for the Garden Shed. New Updates and Curtains for the Garden Shed Back in early March, I wrote about my desire to create a secret garden. The thing about enchanting gardens is that they do not happen overnight. Here’s a reminder as to what this area used to look like. Just two months have passed but the arbor is now covered is gorgeous pink climbing roses. On the other side of the arbor base, morning glories ... View the Post

S.R., the resident gardener, was happy ... View the Post
Creating A Secret Garden
Our yard is rather large. Our neighbors have told us, that for the most part, the backyard in our 30+-year-old house had long been neglected.

Planting Hope Daffodil Hill
I grew up in Northern California. A little over an hour from my hometown, near Sutter Creek, there is a hill that is transformed every spring into a carpet of daffodils. It is, in short, an amazing sight to behold. Planting Hope Daffodil Hill. Planting Hope Daffodil Hill First-time visitors gazing over the fields always ask, “How did this happen?” The answer is simple, two women made this beauty possible. The property has been in the same family since the late 1800s. One of the ... View the Post
