@ ulalena My garden will be mostly composed of small round bushes and low lying vegetation cluttered here and there like so: [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/309omxu.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/15ceo36.jpg[/IMG] Except that there will be no rectangular bushes and no flowers since my garden will most likely just be green. There’ll be a white arch in the front with low lying plants on either side and a stone path leading the way: [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/2j5gjs8.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/9hl99z.jpg[/IMG] Aside from the low lying bushes, there’ll be trees in the distance making shade, and there’ll maybe a bench under there, with windchimes :) Lastly, my garden will be surrounded with stands of identical trees to make boundaries. This is me working in my dream garden :D Outfit Not Found

I have moved around with my family a LOT but we always had a garden, be it a little one of herbs or a big one with fruits and veggies ranging from Potatoes Eggplants. We also had flowers and trees ^w^ At one point we had Pear tress and fig trees, bamboo and plum trees too (That was in addition to our veggie and flower gardens).
I LOVE chrysanthemums (My birth flower for November, they are more commonly known as mums, marigolds, florists daisy, spider mums etc...) we had Red orange bicolor garden mums in almost every place we moved to <3
Also Honey suckles ^w^ they would be in various spots along the edge of the property adding a divider between sections of the bee/butterfly mixes
and to top it off a small pond/fountain with a stone path leading to it
My dream Liesure Garden
Various bee/ butterfly flower mixes along the edge of the property
And A big tree with a tire swing somewhere off in a corner or possibly a hammock
(hard to decide what one i like better I MAY HAVE BOTH!)
also fruit trees ^w^ pear and/or apple <3

My garden would be filled with ALL kinds of roses, roses over hanging, and a gazeboo. I have always been obsessed with roses. I have 6 rose bushes/vines at my home

I am inspired by redneck gardens! (part truth, part silliness) There are several names I might use but they may not be taken in the spirit that I intend so will stick with calling my inspiration "redneck garden".
Take a Trip to my Dream Garden . . .
I've always dreamt of owning a ranch with a huge, bee-friendly garden. One of the many plants I'd like to have is lavender. It has a wide range of purposes (from culinary to essential oil), and honey bees love it!
I love the idea of having a very natural, relatively un-manicured, garden with tons of paths to explore and shady spots to relax.
I'd also really like one of these types of neat swings. Reminds me of a grown-up secret fort.

I would totally have some sort of succulent garden if I could! I guess it might be less garden and more a random assortment of plants scattered around my house. Right now, I don't live somewhere that has room for plants and I'd be worried about my cats. But, it would be nice to have some sort of studio or craft room one day, with a random scattering of plants. I'd be one of those hipsters who puts them in like old shoes and light bulbs and stuff, haha.
Succulent Garden
Aaand, my outfit: Private Outfit
Here is my idea of a succulent and also fantasy garden as well as my disaster of an HA. lol My garden would be a Claude Monet series of his paintings come back to life including the beautiful Waterlilies and bridge.

my dream garden
My dream garden wouldn't be for me or any other human (unless we're there to help maintain the garden). The garden of my dreams would be a series of small gardens for pollinators wherever I could find a spare spot for one, even if that's just a container or two of wild flowers. It's a tough time for pollinators with all the pesticides, urban cement jungles and suburban super manicured food desert lawns. I would want to provide native/wild high pollen plants and small shallow water sources. A bonus up side to using native/wild plants is they tend to be lower maintenance and require less water than other options. I would also really love to have some bee hives in the gardens as well.
Thank you so much for your partizipation! I loved all your HAs and garden ideas! Look how beautiful you look all together:
