Check out these links that were sent from a friend of mine. They are Zen gardens designed by a Japanese Monk. Wow!

The key elements of good design are universal. Color, form, texture and scale are all important no matter what field of design you practice. And if you have an underlying concept to tie your composition together, that's the icing on the cake.
I love taking the principles I've learned in graphic design and applying them to the garden. Garden design, however, gives the added challenge of light, water and soil requirements. Getting all these elements in sync is like working a puzzle and continually moving the pieces around until you have just the right fit.
Hi Cami,
ReplyDeleteI love the look, and philosophy behind your pots; the Russina Sage, Italian parsley and lobelia combination almost has a sense of humor!
I have recently fallen in love with beets and I wonder if you have ever planted them in a container?
Thanks for sharing,
Lisa Crunick
I am growing radishes right now which seem to be doing well since I moved them OUT of their container and into the ground. What kind of beets are you trying? I hear they don't require a whole lot of room. Are they just a cool season crop though?
