Dont overthink design
Its good to have things put into a bit of perspective. I spend so much time planning gardens, trying to choose the right combination of plants and elements, contemplating balance, harmony and contrast, will the garden have seasonal interest, are the plants going to flourish in the conditions they will find themselves in...etc...etc. It sometimes seems like there is so much to be aware of in creating a beautiful garden.
But in the last couple of days, Ive had time to relax. In the process, Ive just happened on a couple of places as Ive driven past that I think are beautiful just as they are, and I couldnt have planned them any better if I spent hours thinking about it.
It just reminds me that beauty is all around us, even amongst the weeds. Beautiful design is everywhere if we open our eyes to it, and often simple is so, so much better.
