New White Garden
A while
back, I shared with you my desire to create a white garden. I was enchanted by
examples I had discovered.
This took
several hours – I had to remove a tangle of vinca, ivy and liriope that had
staked their claim to this garden. We have been struggling with such invasive
ground covers since we moved in. This had been a solution to a low-effort
garden by one of the previous owners.

Before, I
had the four seasons here. I enjoyed them there, but I am excited by their new
home – I will show you soon!
I moved
my sweet little lady, that I had painted white, as the focal point. The Oakleaf hydrangea will fill in and
create a backdrop for her.
Before her
I placed a collection of bulbs, perennials and annuals all in white.
This
sweet little garden marker has aged over the years, I love its patina.

These seashells
were here when we moved –
I dig up the most interesting things in my garden.

I moved
the whitewashed pots with French writing that I transformed and shared with you
here. In them are the white mums that will bloom this fall.
So far, I
have flowers and plants that will bloom white from spring until fall. I am
thrilled.
It is now being used to support my Constance Spry rose.
Now, I
have much more to do – indoors.
Just in time a little sprinkle of rain is
coming –
I love it when God waters my garden.
