You ask, I answer! Question: dream garden

[stoney321]

Oh my gosh. Well, if this isn't the greatest (and most difficult!) question to ask me, I don't know what is. midnightsjane asked me: "what your dream garden would look like if you had all the time and resources needed to create it. What would you include, and what would you leave out?"

WELL. *cracks knuckles* Loads of pics under the cut. :D

Lovely photos all! I want hidey holes and a tree lined drive and tons of unexpected yard art. A treehouse wouldn't be remiss either.

I am still smiling at the monkey orchids. Oh, Nature, you're delightful!

[stoney321]

I would love beautiful pieces of sculpture here and there, as well. I seriously could have gone on and on about all the things I'd love to surround myself with...

AREN'T THOSE ORCHIDS DELIGHTFUL?!?! Flying Duck orchids are hilarious, too.

[brunettepet]

The Flying Duck Orchids can play with our Monkey Orchids! What would happen with cross pollination? Wizard of Oz Flying Monkey Orchids!

Hahaha!

This was gorgeous! I loved the pictures, and I learned something about what grows where and why and what shouldn't. YAY.

[stoney321]

Oooh, you learned that stuff?! HOORAY! I feel a bit like I just threw images at my screen, lol.

If I lived further north, I would OF COURSE grow lilacs. Oh, beautiful lilacs, how I long to have you...

[sheafrotherdon]

My across-the-back neighbor cut down his lilac tree last year. That's how I know he is evil.

Love that second photo. Gorgeous. There's actually a thoroughfare in The Bron that has tress like that (I believe its Moshula Parkway, but its been a while, Beautiful to drive through.)

And I covet that greenhouse. Covet, I say.

[stoney321]

I would seriously live inside in that greenhouse. WOULD LIVE IN IT.

Man, a place like that, YOU'D NEVER BE ABLE TO GET RID OF ME. I will tell stories for room and board! I can cook!

[stoney321]

I LIKE THIS PLAN. We can make fresh goat cheese together, then branch off to reading corners, then reconvene at giant bonfires at night!

[whisperyvoices]

I hope you realise that I will be moving in to a corner of that 640 acres. I don't take up much space, and I can be very quiet.

This post made my heart sing. It's so ALIVE! BEAUTIFUL! INSPIRING! ENERGIZING!!

[My parents have a little 'garden', but they can never agree on what to plant, so it's all very haphazard. I might come to you for ideas of what to plant in this climate. Our space has so much potential!].

[stoney321]

Oh, there will be so many corners for you to hide in at my dream home! FEEL FREE TO MOVE IN.

[And yes! I'll do my best to help you in any way I can. <3]
