Garden catalogs are arriving daily at Heath and it’s that time of year where I like to sequester myself with paper and pencils to draft a layout of the grounds for spring, summer and fall.
I enjoy choosing a yearly theme and color scheme so; the gardens flow colorfully from one season to the next with a flourish of blooms.
Using photos from Versailles {my favorite gardens}, books and magazines for inspiration I am attempting to create a dream garden where one steps into an enchanted world that speaks of “once upon a time” and all that is luxurious and whimsical. A coveted spot to enjoy during each of the seasons.
Plan and create stylishly,

Fun!

In my opinion, it’s the gardens that make for a beautiful landscape, not just planting trees and shrubs and throwing mulch around. The work, planning and maintanence that go into gardening is a success in and of itself. And when the garden cultivates and you’re able to enjoy the fruits of your labor, that’s a landscape.

I love your insight and taste, white climbing roses are a great idea. I will look into planting a few with hope the deer will not eat them.
