Daily Love

Just because I love this picture.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Daily Find

I love it when there is a seamless transition from the inside of a home to the out.  

Daily Read

This is an excellent book on landscape design by two of Atlanta's landscape architects, Hugh and Mary Palmer Dargan.  In this book they share their "four part master plan," a unique method to creating an unforgettable landscape.  I hear the authors may be working on book number two as well.  

Daily Eats

There are so many perks to growing your own veggies, herbs, fruit... anything!  It is healthy, fun to watch grow, and anyone can do it.  Whether you are in an apartment or have acres of land, you can have potted plants or extensive gardens.  My suggestion is to start small, know how much sun your plants will get, and get going!  The picture above is of my potted jalapeno plant with some basil.  The other pictures, I came across on the web and just love.  

Daily Bloom

Are you a hydrangea lover, but hate to see the gorgeous blooms end mid-summer?  Try planting the Limelight Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'limelight.')  These bright green blooms turn white to pink with age, and best of all, they will hold their color through autumn.  

Daily Dreaming

This picture is of the Taj Lake Palace in India.  A luxury hotel located on the Jag Niwas island in Lake Pichola, Udaipur, India.  Although it is half the world away, I am currently day dreaming I am on this patio. 

Daily Blessing

This is the church my husband and I were married in exactly two years ago today.  I love the simply classic style of it with the boxwoods and topiaries.  It is so crisp and perfect!

Day One

The point of this blog is inspiration, so I thought it only fitting to begin my blog with someone whom I find inspiring. Bunny Guinness, a multi award winning landscape and garden designer in the UK, specializes in gardens for the entire family to enjoy. She has written several inspiring books including Creating a Family Garden. Although it is now somewhat hard to find, I highly recommend adding it to your design library. The adorable photo above is from a children's garden that she designed.
