I knew at that moment, that I wanted an enchanted garden when I grew up.

garden inspiration
I have always loved gardens. From as far back as I can remember, I would plan and think about garden designs. Growing up in Chicago, I remember going to my great-aunt's home for family parties. Your typical Chicago bungalow filled with lively Italians and FOOD! What struck me when I was a child was Aunt Tina's garden. With a cannoli in hand, I followed my cousins out the back door and was mesmerized by what I saw. Tall brick walls inclosed the small Chicago lot. Beautiful vines creeping up the old brick and large statues throughout the garden surrounded by flowers and greenery. A formal design with many of the same characteristics as the garden below.

that's really nice. I'm going to come back to this. I'm thinking about remaking my front gardens and doing a low maintenance green scheme - lime, deep greens, chartreuse, some maroons.
