Landscaping Around the Potting Shed

source

David and I are going to go out into the yard to measure and to see if 

the potting shed I want will be the best footprint for the spot where

I intend to set it.  I am pretty sure it will be fine, so I am now looking

at some ideas for landscaping around the outside of the shed.

Much of my yard is shady, so I will have to be careful about the

plants I choose.  It would be nice if I could have some sunflowers

like this ~ maybe?

Hydrangea Heaven is what I call this.  Isn't that a Japanese maple too?
Oh and a couple of sweet topiaries flanking the entrance to the front porch.
Looks like some pretty day lilies too.

Oh how I love a cottage garden.  Can't you imagine Gladys Taber or
Beatrix Potter gardening just around the corner?  I sure can.

Look how nestled into the landscape this shed is.  I must say that there
are times when I really appreciate when the colors of a cottage don't
compete with nature, but blend in instead.  Everything is naturally
charming.  An organic look.

Succulents growing on the roof.  I wonder how long they would last with
the possum who seems to like to visit our yard every evening?  I must
learn more about our nightly visitor.  Bentley just wants him to stay
away!  Therefore I better not give our possum a name :-)

Stepping stones, pots of flowers and sweet weeping trees.  I could go on and on.
I hope I am not boring you.  Obviously I have the tiny cottage virus and I have
no intention of shaking it!


Seasonal Sundays


Come on Bentley ~ let's go pace out the footprint and then head to
the garden center.
