Into the Garden: Flowers

July 22, 2014 · 2 Comments

“To build a garden, is to believe in tomorrow.” Audrey HepburnInto the Garden

Nature is perfect, calming, beautiful, invigorating, soothing, and can evoke so many emotions within just one breath of fresh air. I’m an outdoor girl, one who is extremely connected and driven by my surroundings. I feel more like myself when I’m outdoors, surrounded by trees, listening to the birds and the peaceful stillness nature provides us. So it’s no surprise the garden is the favorite part of my house. It’s where I work, relax, exercise, enjoy my meals, become inspired, and feel a true connection to the land. I come from generations of farmers, so the love of the land was born into me. Years in college and living in an apartment, I missed the freedom of sitting on the deck looking at the multitude of wonderful little greens popping in corners, being able to sink my toes into the grass, and smelling flowers still fresh from the morning dew.

Into the Garden: Flowers

Now, I speak like my garden is large and lush, secluded from the business of daily life, but in actuality it’s quite the contrary. I can currently see the 9/11 Memorial building in clear view, an old boat parked in a mechanic’s parking lot, and the sounds of cars driving along a busy road, yet somehow I tune it all out. The wind carries the smells of rich soil, and fragrant roses, ruffling the leaves and branches on trees, creating a soothing melody. I can honestly say I go crazy in the winter, there is no visual life, just the dark quiet and stillness of life working below the ground, and I just like nature, waiting for the days to finally warm up to begin their cycle again and emerge.

Into the Garden: Flowers

I had always had a part in planting some flowers and taking care of the herbs, but it wasn’t until my time in Arizona, away from my garden, that I realized my passion for taking care of the land, sustaining and helping it thrive, was much greater. This year I wanted to take initiative to grow more flowers that I loved, like peonies and garden roses, and special greens, like dusty miller, along with creating my own space for fruits and vegetables.

Into the Garden: Flowers

From the first sight of the Hyacinths and array of beautiful Tulips, some lush with large buds others bright and pointy, that had never emerged so forcefully in the garden until this year; I felt complete once again. Nothing made me more excited and happy than walking outside every morning and seeing a new colorful bloom making its way through the ground, or seeing my beloved Sarah Bernhardt Peony bush stemming with more lush blooms than ever before.

Into the Garden

No matter what mood I am in, all it takes is a walk around my garden, seeing the different varieties of plants growing, the endless greens ranging from light to dark, the tall, the short, and the wild ones trellising along the fence. Each of every single flower is unique and precious to me, always putting a smile on my face. Stepping outside and taking part into the beautiful earth that lies beneath our feet, is more than anyone needs to feel whole and optimistic, no matter their present life.

Into the Garden Into the Garden Into the Garden Into the Garden In the words of Daron “Farmer D” Joffe, “Nature is perfect, and one should remember to be grateful for the abundance it provides.” Nature teaches us a very valuable lesson about life, just like the ever-changing flowers and seasons, life changes every day, whether one day is sunny and in full bloom with wonderful opportunity, the other may be dark and gloomy, wilting with worry and sadness, it still manages to grow and thrive amongst all the outside forces. Into the Garden This passion of mine, has led me to take many photographs of my garden, and document its growth throughout the summer. Even though we’re only halfway through the season, it’s amazing to see how much it has changed. These are just a few photographs of the flowers that have brought life into my garden so far.

    […] A garden without flowers just isn’t as pretty, the peonies should bloom more this year, as well as the ranunculus I just planted. There is plenty of color and variety in my garden flowers seen here. […]

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
