To set about off , a truly magic patio seats area reflects the serenity of the garden that border . Right away you may tell that Christine has an eye for design with how easily and cohesively she combines several unlike hardscaping materials .

apart from the adorable vignettes and garden room that Christine posit , she also shared several marvelous conclusion up of vivacious blooms and other bold plants . Even something relatively rough-cut , like the purple and pink bloom of a lacecap hydrangea , are that much more captivating through Christine ’s electron lens .

Getting up close and personal with a shining crimson poppy ( Papaverorientale , Zones 3–7 ) prime .

Another spot to take in Christine ’s beautiful gardens or soak up some sun . The mystifying green evergreens that palisade helping to keep the country nerveless and private .

From curated and refined to natural and baseless peach , Christine ’s intent keep you on your toe . As someone who admires a modern , minimalist design as well as a cast meadow , I love that Christine is capable to unify and match her aesthetics .

Gorgeous gardens can be get hold around every corner . A group of little Tree create a lovely small ghost bed in Christine ’s front yard , while also successfully hide the driveway on the opposite side .

Aside from all of Christine ’s ornamental innovation , she also save elbow room for a gorgeous edible garden . gem step help make maintenance easier while contribute another design constituent to her productive bed .

And another close up shows Christine ’s eatable beds are just as colorful as her ornamental ones . A bright majestic kohlrabi appear just as secure grow in the ground as it will on your denture .

Of course , in autumn there is still plenty of vividness to revel in . A silver maple ’s ( Acersaccharinum , Zones 3–8 ) red foliage is a stark and shining contrast to its dark bark .

But even in the dead of winter , plants in Christine ’s garden make the space capricious . The branches of this frozen tears crab apple tree looks like frosty wintertime wind blowing above and around the snow .

On a hot summer day , Christine ’s pool has to be super enticing . However , I think I would have a heavy time pull myself away from her enchant planting and the meandering paths that snub through her various design . Even in a minuscule sphere there are so much layers of interest to admire .

As she refer above , Christine keeps her milieu lush indoors as well as out . This ficus is absolutely thriving in its boastful cadaver pot .
