Thanks for reading this week. I have some wonderful gardenrooms to share over the weekend with you. In the meantime, I love this photo from Marie Claire mag. I found it on a design blog and would love to give credit for it, let me know if it's yours. The purple flowers are lavatera, or commonly known as tree mallow. Oops, the purple flowers are actually petunias. Thanks Laurel.
These flowers are for a garden with a white theme. For the ground cover between stones I chose erodium, hydrangea as a shrub, jasmine polyanthum for the vines, and santolina for the sunny areas. The bottom photo is of a garden I planted in San Francisco. 
This image from cote maison wowed me with it's lovliness. I frequently plant buxus sempervirens suffruticosa commonly known as boxwood in containers. The dwarf variety is also great as a border. cote maison photography by Jules Reno
These gardens are a beautiful example of a seventeenth-century French Chateau's fashionable formality. Now planted with modern flowers and shrubs, making it natural looking while keeping the classic lines. photography by Le Scanff-Mayer, British House & Garden.
Miles Redd designed a room for his garden with a bold harlequin scheme. I love the potted plants and the vines growing against the house. check out the photos from Domino magazine's April issue.
These photos are from the current issue of Country Living. I am drawn to the simplicity of the barn, where the owner hosts summer dinners and the rustic country garden. photography by lucas allen 
I love this photo, I think it's from Blue Print mag. They used flagstone with decomposed granite between the joints, nice and clean looking. click on image to enlarge.
These images are from an older copy of Living magazine. I love the different shapes, sizes & textures that are planted in this Spring garden.
