I can grow my garden exactly the way want, which allows me to make a conscious choice to be more relaxed and engage at a slower pace. I’ll still get the job done, and the weeding will never stop. But I am happy to report that perfect is not the goal for this garden season and I like it that way. And I think the plants do, too.

Always keep something beautiful in your mind
Waiting for the soil to warm and the season to get started, I’ve been looking at pictures of garden designs that I love. I am inspired by the timeless elements these gardens share: low borders around each bed, tidy paths, arbor and a distinctive entrance. All are a beautiful reminder that the ultimate goal is to appear effortless and inviting.
German Farmers Markets
The open air farmers markets in Germany make the most of fresh winter vegetables, seasonal flowers and herbs, along with farm cheese and fruits, plus traditional hand crafts. Set inside a backdrop of historic cathedrals in village squares with cobblestone streets, it is is an experience that reawakens all of the senses.
