How to Create a Romantic Garden

Hi Everyone

 Happy Wednesday

♥

Creating a romantic garden

 for your home 

Begins with choosing the right plants 

There are many amazing varieties to choose from I made a list of my favorites 

 that will help you set the stage for romance by

 adding amazing beauty and

 fragrance to your yard

One of my favorite plants to add to the garden is 

 ~paper white bulbs~

 they have such an intoxicating fragrance 

and every year you will be happy to see the bulbs bloom again

 {Love} 

~Lavender~
 is another plant 

that blesses us all with its amazing fragrance 

The gray colored leaves are also beautiful year round

This is a fabulous plant called 

 ~Breath of Heaven~

love the way this sways in the breeze

and its luscious fragrance
is soft and sweet

~Tulips~
 are a wonderful border
 plant in our garden
{Love}
to walk by and say tulips so romantic!!!!

Of coarse a romantic garden would not be complete
 with out beautiful
~Cabbage roses~
the quintessential flower of romance

 and last but not least
colorful
~ hydrangeas~
that look almost majestic in the garden

 Freshly cut hydrangeas
add romance and beauty
everywhere

Do you have a favorite  romantic plant or flower
that grows in your garden
that you would add to this list

Bees and Burlap

Hi Everyone

 Happy Thursday

♥

This week is the last week of classes for our son

 I wanted to give the Teachers a gift 

I found these adorable burlap wrapped vases with a bee stamp
 at TJ Maxx a couple of weeks ago

they were only 5.99 

Then life got away from me and I realized I needed the gifts

 TODAY 
I thought they ended on Friday!!!

 not this morning

 NOW

Where did the week go?

I was going to bake homemade cookies and fill the vases but there was no time for that so

I had to think of a plan B

 I cut some of the roses from the front yard

Pretty but White Iceberg roses do not have much fragrance

So I cut some of the lavender growing here

{next to the mint which was a huge mistake it takes over everything}

The Lavender smelled so clean and fresh 

 adding a lovely splash of color too

Made them all and dropped them off at school 

{sigh}

 it is such a bitter sweet time for us
 our son is
graduating from High School and soon will be going off to college
Where does the time go?

Thank You Teachers for all you do

romantic saying for today

"Our hearts are entwined yours and mine for all eternity"
