FURNITURE ON THE LAWN

Timeless perfection, deeper than you think, below. Why? Have you deduced wisdom in the plantings? Dwarf conifers, deer resistant & once established zero irrigation.
.
Combined by design: contrasting textures - colors - forms, use of backdrop, focal point - furniture on the lawn, & no down time; showy all year.
.
Tara Turf: pollinator zone, feeds beneficial insects, fragrant, attractive to butterflies & honey bees, needs zero irrigation-chemicals-fertilizer, & less mowing than tradition lawn.
.
I'm a GARDEN WHISPERER, are you?. Did you know this wasn't just furniture on the lawn?

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

I have an old trunk sitting under a foot of snow right now ... its a wreck but come spring I bring it back to life with flowers. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I recently read an article about the craftsman style of homes. In the article the author discussed the importance of creating outdoor rooms with furnishing and pathways to bring the garden elements and the home elements together. This reminds me of that idea especially due to the clean, simple lines of the furniture and the fact that it's wooden furniture, which I think complements nature.
