POVERTY IS A GREAT PRESERVER

Can you imagine if this mudroom had been updated in the 60's? Early 80's? Touring old fabulous European gardens and Charleston, SC landscapes moons ago I realized the Poverty Cycle was part of good landscape design.
.
Why?
.
The conniving of the human brain. It's humbling to walk the grounds of gorgeous landscapes owing their existence to pure persistance & passion.
.
Mudroom above is more of Susanne Hudson's Douglasville, GA gorgeous home & garden. After her divorce she spent her last pennies on a crumbling old estate. It didn't stop her from creating a world class garden and lovely home.
.
Susanne LIVES poverty is a great preserver with richness.
.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
