Dianella revoluta, one of several special plants that I earned in "my garden advice and project for plants, pots, and tools" swap of 2021. They love sun but die in the cold. I told myself no lemons, nothing frost sensitive, and then made a few exceptions. #dianella #dianellarevoluta #dianellarevolutacoolvista #tinyblueflowers #piccoligiardiniitaliani #lamacchinafissa #plantswap #gardenadvice #gardendesignersoninstagram #gardenersofig #mezzogiardiniere #thankyoumarta❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CeVXoLJIMPL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Acacia dealbata is a lovely delicate evergreen tree that has a ridiculous amount of small bright yellow pom pom type flowers in spring. It isn’t frost hardy, but that doesn’t bother us coastal dwellers as it is very suited to our mild climate and it also makes an excellent screening tree. I have planted this little chap in our window box along with some Cylcamens for Winter interest. I anticipate the Mimosa will outgrow it’s current home fairly quickly, so I will re-house him somewhere else, but in the meantime I am enjoying the beauty of it’s form seen from inside the house #treetuesday #acaciadealbata #mimosa #urbantrees #treesofinstagram #coastalliving #coastalplanting #coastaltrees #gardendesigner #gardendesignersoninstagram #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersouthend #hasog #thegardenrevampcompany (at The Garden Revamp Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nbFR4FadM/?igshid=1t5ckp132thdd

Curvilinear Layout. 🌿 Don't let your landscape try to talk you into using straight lines.

Ground cover galore! Have I mentioned how much I love ground cover plants in the landscape? These creeping veronica are the perfect water wise, low maintenance, and beautiful turf alternative. Fill the open areas of your garden with plants, and the weeds will have little room to grow!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #denvergarden #coloradogarden #denvergardening #xericgardening #xericplants #lawnalternative #lowmaintenancegarden #xericgarden #waterwisegardening #waterwiseplants #waterwisegarden #draughttolerantplants #droughttolerantgarden #pathway #pathways #stepstones #gardenpaths #veronica #creepingveronica #perennialplants #onlinelandscapedesigns #diylandscape #designyourlandscape #gardendesignideas #frontyardgarden #gardendesignersoninstagram #gardendesigntips #gardendesigning #virtualdesign #coloradosmallbusiness (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jRpF2FZlF/?igshid=12vju30brs86b

Birdbath in the garden.🕊🕊🕊 I like to take leftover cut flowers and float them sometimes bees and butterflies - will hop on the blooms to take a drink. #alfordsgardens #birdbath #flowers #gardendesign #gardendesignersoninstagram #gardenplan #landscapedesign #gardenlove#romanticgarden #gardeninspired #cottagegardens #gardendecor (at Alford's English Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZKn2TJxjm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Low garden wall that creates a courtyard. A low water garden was added in front that features Dymondia as a sod alternative. #alfordsgardens #lowwall #courtyardgarden #dymondia #sodalternative #belgardoutdoorliving #gardendesigner #gardendesignersoninstagram #ladycontractor #designer #designbuild #exteriordesigns #frontyard #frontyardlandscaping #outdoorliving #brea https://www.instagram.com/p/CjE9U-yuur8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From the inside, looking out. My next article for GiardinAntico, coming out in October, is about Cucurbitaceae but also how important links are between the house and garden. Views from doors and windows, looking out, as well as views of the house's doors and windows from the garden. I guess it's terribly obvious to garden designers, but was not so obvious or easy for me. I have eight exterior doors and thirty windows to think about. 😂 #gardendesign #gardendesigners #gardendesignersoninstagram #lamacchinafissa #mezzogiardiniere #readingandweeding #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly #gardenviews #doorsandwindows #giardiniitaliani #ruralitalianretreats #ruralgardens #provinciadimantova #parcodelmincio (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSjEmIZIjLU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yellow Flowers of Pearl Acacia (Acacia podalyriifolia). Acacias are a large group of trees and shrubs and most share the same feature of blooming many small fragrant yellow flowers in the winter. A great choice for adding to your drought tolerant garden for winter interest when most plants are getting ready for a show in the spring.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ · · · #yellow #paisjismo #gardendesign #yellowlab #jardin #garden #acacia #yellowflowers #gardendesigner #nature #landscapedesign #acaciatree #yellowflower #gardendesigns #home #gardening #acacias #gardendesignmag #paisajista #gardendesigners #landscaping #gardendesignsideas #plantas #gardendesignerofinstagram #plantlovers #gardeninspiration #flowers #landscapedesigner #gardendesignersoninstagram #gardendesignfest — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3nNR93A

Peeling bark of the Strawberry Tree (Arbutus Unedo).⁠ 🌳⁠ When you are planning a tree for a patio, consider the texture/color of the bark as that is what you will see the most when spending time under the shade of the tree. Arbutus Unedo is one of my favorite patio trees because of it's attractive bark that looks very similar to Manzanita.⁠ · · · #paisajismo #droughttolerant #gardendesign #landscape #garden #gardendesigner #jardin #landscapedesign #jardines #gardendesigns #plantas #gardening #gardendesignmag #paisaje #gardendesigners #landscaping #jardinespanama #gardendesignsideas #aquascaping #nature #gardendesigne #paisajismourbano #gardendesignerofinstagram #gardeninspiration #plants #diseñodejardines #landscapedesigner #paisajistas #paisajismos #gardendesignersoninstagram — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2ZM4BMk

Lavender Cotton (Santolina chamaecyparissus). Masses of yellow flower "dots" adorn this fabulously fragrant plant in late spring/summer.⁠ 🌿⁠ A very low maintenance plant for a drought tolerant garden, this requires almost no supplemental water even during it's establishment period.⁠ 🌿⁠ This is a low mounding plant, best placed in the foreground of a mixed planting bed. It does quite well on the edge of a wall, creating a soft edge tumbling over the sides. · · · #greyfoliage #gardendesign #droughttolerant #silverfoliage #garden #gardendesigner #landscapedesign #plants #gardendesigns #gardening #grijsbladig #gardendesignmag #gardendesigners #bridalflowers #landscaping #wintertuin #gardendesignsideas #paisajismo #gardendesigne #gardendesignerofinstagram #gardeninspiration #foliage #landscapedesigner #gardendesignersoninstagram #gardens #instagarden #garten #gardendesignideas #summergarden #greyleaves — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3cGZVeU
