Landscaping Inspiration

A view of our newest garden bed. I was inspired by a photo I found online that incorporated a seating area inside the garden. We have a very flat rectangular yard and we are always looking for ways to add depth and height. The extra setting area was also a huge plus. On a beautiful day like today it's always nice to sit in the garden and daydream.

A wider view of the bed. The plants were specifically chosen so that we have color in this area from spring till fall. Right now our butterfly bush is in full bloom and making quite a statement in this young bed. It's doubled in size since we bought it a few months ago. Perfect choice if you are looking for a fast growing perennial with beautiful blooms.

This is the picture that inspired our corner flower bed. I don't remember the site I found it on, but I thought it was a beautiful way of incorporating a seating area into your garden.
