This week's prompt in the Gussy Sews Inspiration Workshop is gardening. I have always loved gardens. My mom is an amazing gardener and she learned the skill from her mother, who had an absolutely exquisite garden. Unfortuantely, it doesn't appear that I've inherited their green thumbs. For now, my "garden" consists of a pot of pink petunias and a window box of lavender impatiens. Eventually, though, I would love to have a huge, stunning garden. I want a place to sit, a bird bath and a water feature, some shade and some sun, some flowers neatly contained in pots and cute containers and others grown a bit wild. I'll have plenty of snapdragons, peonies and daisies -- my favorite flowers -- and some hydrangeas for my mom. It will be the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or escape in the pages of a book in the afternoon sun. Sigh... The following pictures are ones from which I would definitely draw inspiration when planning my own garden someday.
This is a tiny piece of my mom's gorgeous garden.
Ooo, I love those herb markers too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! They're all beautiful! I love my gardens, but they are not the "get lost forever" in kind of gardens. Yet! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Gives you something to strive for. I too love the herb markers. Very unique and fun. I started out small and grew from there. I'm sure that someday you'll have that special garden to enjoy.
