An outdoor garden is a vital part of any home and nothing
is more rewarding than creating a ‘special place’ in your garden where peace
and relaxation reside. I choose this
picture from gardenoholic because of
the way it brings the indoors out onto the patio or lanai. With the way the cushioned chairs with
pillows and the coffee table are situated with the lamp nearby and chandelier overhead,
this space has the look and feel of a warm, cozy family room but the openness all
around makes it fresh and airy. I love
the way they have captured the ambience of both.
So when creating your garden space, choose items that have
meaning but remember that the
items you choose will affect how you feel as you spend time in your
special place, so choose those that evoke positive emotions and pleasant
memories; visual inspiration and reflection has a calming sense that helps develop
serenity. In addition, those items strategically
placed around your garden provide opportunity for conversation or
contemplation.
