Coops Zen Shade Garden w Hammock

[gardencoop]

Hello everybody!! I love this site!! haha

Here are some pics of my zen shade garden I just finished. This spot has always been kinda bland and boring and honestly I felt as if it were a waste of space! I wanted to change it but wasn't sure of what I wanted to do. Being 32 and learning those awesome "life lessons" (true friends, loved ones and more) I knew I needed a quiet get-away spot in my backyard. This is what I did and I LOVE it! It's quiet, peaceful and helps me to clear my mind and relax!

Quiet, peaceful, shady and with a view!

Misc hostas and ferns growing up and filling in nicely!

Also have some Rosemary and Sage growing around to soften the edges. Once they're larger, I may shape them, we'll see!

MMM Wisteria! Starting to grow up the gazebo. It's a little more than halfway across the front lattice and I CANT WAIT it to bloom!

Added some red carpet boarded Lilly's around my magnolia tree (love these!)

Thanks for viewing
Greg

Well of course my brain struck and now I'm going to finish this part of my yard the right way!

This wall is ugly and served a purpose, but I'm over it and I decided to take it down. Im going to build a small wall to cut-off the corner point. Then I'm going to be making a true sand zen rock garden. Can't wait!!! This will happen slowly and sometime soon...

 

[gardencoop]
