I can remember a time when I was not a fan of "Cottage Style" gardens.
like liver, I was just not a fan.
They always looked like a mish-mash of plants with no rhyme or reason.
I much preferred order and simplicity
not just of plant materials but of colors as well
Like my favorite wardrobe of all black clothing
Everything went with everything
Gardens lined in Boxwood, this was my style
to pin-point it I never took these types of gardens seriously.
the owners were just throwing any thing in the ground and hoping to create a garden.
Now that has changed.
I'm learning to like these gardens, and the gardeners who create these
spaces
I'm learning to appreciate the play on colors and textures, and the freedom to plant what ever pleases you
where ever
The fun of growing what you like.
and this is what gardening is all about
How things change
I still like some order in a garden, straight lines, and masses of one variety.
I still don't like liver, some things don't change
But I have a wardrobe with many colors of clothing now
This I am starting to like
