garden_pixieI found a few gardening shows on Netflix. I spent the afternoon watching people transform their backyards into an Oasis. This of course being my goal!
It was very interesting to hear the suggestions on how to plant the roses, on how to stuff plants into rock walls correctly or watching normal people create a water feature. These people are working so hard, but the inspiration was the fact that they actually did it. Their recreated yard was amazing.
It made me ask myself what my yard wanted to be. Some people had themes(Norwegian) or Japanese. Another guy just wanted to have something for everyone in his yard. There was the standard "battle" over keeping the shed in the yard. Of course these are all things I have had experience with myself, so I found myself giggling.
My own vision for the garden has been migrating over the years. At first I wanted it to be food on the land, growing our own vegetables, etc. But given that I cannot eat them, it did't make sense anymore.
So now the goal is beautiful oasis that is relaxing. A place you could have a garden party with your best mates. Flower beds to get cut flowers for the kitchen!
I have been enjoying working on the design for the grove in the back!
