#fotovorschlag Mein Meisterwerk" I don't know if it's a masterpiece, but I was proud of it anyway. It's a design for a front garden. The clients' wish was for their long, narrow front garden to become a real garden. Their back garden was very small and they loved gardening. They also wanted a place to sit in the sun, preferably with a bit of privacy. They wanted to be able to walk through the garden, but also for visitors to be able to easily find the door and walk to it. A lot of wishes, which I was able to fulfill. They were super happy with it. The first 2 photos were taken at the beginning of the 3rd year. The third photo is a plan. And on the 5th photo you can see the garden after construction, still without plants. I don't design anymore, only sometimes for family and friends, but I kept my old plans. This was a good opportunity to take another look at it.

A view of a front garden. There is a winding gravel path in the middle of the photo. Borders with low plants along the edge to the right and left, and higher ones behind them. The path leads to a narrow street with houses behind it.
Another view of the front garden. Now from the street. In the foreground a gravel path with flagstones. Behind that from left to right a straight path of large gray concrete tiles. In the middle is a pergola with 4 poles that stand on either side of the tiled path. Around the paths green shrubs and plants. In the background even more green shrubs in the gardens of the neighbors.
A map, made on the computer, but then colored by hand. Also details written by hand. In Dutch.
In the middle of the photo a water element, surrounded by low plants, including Alchemilla mollis that blooms lushly green-yellow. Around it soil. On the left you see part of a bench (from which there is a nice view of the other gardens, but you can't see that in the photo). In the background a window of the house.

The Chatty Gardener

I've been learning about using succulents as garden plants to cope with summer drought. (Given review copy, not paid.)

'The Dry Exotic Garden' by Paul Spracklin is a comprehensive look at a style of gardening he's been testing for decades. Advice from what he's learned ranges from design and propagation to plant choice and cultivation.

One bed completed without a compost delivery. Just went a little more lasagna on the top of the bed.

Currant and peas planted with transplants waiting in the wings to finish hardening off. First bed at our actual home. Feels pretty amazing.

It's been fun to weave years of health into something. The lower half of the bed is mostly hugelkultur, with upper layers of compost and homemade biochar, then lasagna of bedding straw and compost/soil mixture.

It's a 30" deep bed, so a lot to fill.

I helgen var jag på snödroppsvandring i en alldeles underbart charmig trädgård. Mer om snödroppar i ett eget inlägg för jag blev snäppet mer fascinerad av trädgården. Utan gräsmatta eller större öppen yta men med slingrande gångar mellan öar fyllda av spännande växter och en mängd dekorationer blir det väldigt, väldigt mycket att titta på. En hel upptäcktsfärd på ett positivt sätt! Jag har alltid farhågan att det ska bli rörigt men det var det inte alls, snarare tvärt om. Indelning i rum och mer en tydlig smak för dekorationer håller allt ihop. Få saker gör mig så upprymd som inspirerande trädgårdsbesök! Och upprymd för en stund känner jag extra starkt behov av just nu. Tack för att vi fick kika i er trädgård @vattenrall! #have #tuin #jardin #hage #garten #garden #trädgård #сад #puutarha #ogród #giardino #花園 #gardendesign #gardeninspiration #trädgårdsinspiration #gardenlover #trädgårdsdesign #trädgårdsliv #gardenvisits #opengarden #trädgårdsbesök #snowdropwalk#snowdrops#galanthus#snödroppsvandring#tag#trädgårdsamatörerna

Not a pic, but I just ordered a big mix of native and bee friendly seeds for the garden and some liatris bulbs which the bees go absolutely wild for. Can't wait to have some beds.

Purple alyssum is still by far my favourite ground cover because it's so effortless and well behaved and will still give some space for the native seeds to come up, cuz a few of them can take a couple of years to establish. Excited to try to establish some yellow monkey flower and farewell to spring as well.

Native Plants

A few garden design thoughts:

-Masses of plants look more orderly than multiple one-off plants
-Tall, floppy plants can look weedy, so consider Chelsea chopping them in June, this will make them shorter and bushier
-Avoid Common milkweed and Canada goldenrod for small gardens, they can be aggressive.
