A Walk Through Our Flower Garden

In the late afternoon as the sun begins to sink below the treeline…this is where you’ll find me. I love to spend time each evening walking through the garden. Here is a bridal wreath bush. It’s taller than I am now. DSC_0102 We don’t have any veggies planted yet. Tomatoes, peppers…we’ll plant those real soon, I hope. And we usually just mix it all into our flower gardens. But today, I’d like to show you around, to see what’s blooming. White snapdragons. How I love these. This year, I planted a bunch in planters on our deck, and they are in full bloom. DSC_0104  Spanish lavender. It’s one of my favorites. It grows so well here, and it smells very heavenly 🙂 The sage is still growing well, too. And in the background, you can see dusty miller and another bridal wreath bush. DSC_0107  The pink roses are blooming. Oh their smell is so fragrant. I love roses. I have several white rose bushes also. DSC_0116  Oh the chives…they have the prettiest purple blooms each spring. Chives are one of my favorite herbs, and really thrives in our garden. DSC_0119  And here is dill, standing tall behind the dusty miller. Y’all it smells like a dill pickle 😉 It is a pretty, wispy herb…which blooms sweet little yellow flowers. DSC_0111  This is verbena. It spreads like crazy…and this one is a very pale shade of pink. DSC_0125  And last, but not least…the foxgloves. OH wow! They grew 4 feet tall! I finally clipped the stalks of blooms to bring inside to enjoy. Did you know they are poisonous? You will want to research foxgloves before you plant them. DSC_0130 And while I’m walking through the garden, I usually gather clippings of different herbs and plants to make arrangements…like these goblet centerpieces HERE. DSC_0095 It makes my soul happy to walk or work in the garden. I feel God’s presence. I enjoy His creation. The beauty. The aroma. It’s like a little piece of heaven here on Earth. DSC_0098 What’s blooming in your garden? Do you bring fresh flowers inside? Follow me HERE ON INSTAGRAM to get daily updates.

    Love your flowers and herbs, girl!! We are re-landscaping our back yard and can't wait to get some wonderful color planted back there again. A lawn care company pretty much ruined our yard, but it has fresh new sod and with that we are making some changes!! And I so know what you mean about feeling God's presence amongst his creations! Such a soothing contentment washed over me. Love that!

    The challenge sounds like fun!
    It's kind of what I do all the time!! ;o)
    Hope to join in!
    Have a fabulous weekend, Becky
    Hugs,
    Becky
