Creative Garden

Time in the garden need not be only about planting, feeding, watering and harvesting. Another way to enjoy your garden is through art.

Throughout history gardens have also influenced artists’ paintings, photographs and words.

Nature and the garden offer free and sustainable art supplies:

Gardens are also ideal galleries. From painted flowerpots to giant-sized sculptures, imagination and creativity are at ease in any garden

We would like to build an herb spiral – a pyramid-shaped pile of rocks from our creek planted with herbs grown from cuttings and seeds. The moisture-loving mint will ramble at the bottom and right up top the thyme, rosemary and lavender will escape the wet soil they dislike. There will be room among the herbs for some of our favourite garden art, such as pottery from the thrift store

Next we could create a pond.
