"Just living is not enough." said the butterfly.
"One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."
Hans Christian Anderson

 

If your garden is located in a mild winter region, with a long growing season and almost no winter freeze, where summers are either hot and dry or hot and humid (similar to zone 9 in the US - Central California, parts of Texas and central Florida) you may be interested in some of the ideas we have to share here.

On the other hand - if you're an arm chair gardener - we invite you to scroll through our photos, check out our herb and craft ideas and just enjoy without having to roll up your sleeves and pull on your work gloves.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them and try to follow where they lead.
Louisa May Alcott

us happy: They are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom."

And wholesome hours be reckoned
But with herbs and flowers...
