Garden Inspiration: Patios

Do you have a patio? Don't all of these look very inviting?

Garden Inspiration: Fire and Fountain

The designers of this space organized the yard into zones that correspond to the home's interior rooms: large patios for group activities, intimate ones for relaxing. A redwood boardwalk, fringed with pink-flowered coral bells, connects a bedroom deck and breakfast nook with the main bluestone patio and dining area on the garden's opposite side.

How divine...*sigh*

DIY Project: Wood Storage Cubbies

Nursery pots and planting paraphernalia stay put in these cleverly constructed garden shelves. The up slanted edges of the shelves were inspired by nesting boxes in chicken coops. So clever and space saving!

The DIY project instructions for this can be found here.

Garden Inspiration: Urn Table

Root succulents in an 18-inch-diameter urn filled to 6 1/2 inches below the rim with potting soil, topped with a 24-inch round of tempered glass ― sold as a tabletop ― on the rim. This mini-greenhouse can double as a table for a lightly shaded patio. To keep condensation from building up on the underside of the glass, remove the glass tabletop every few days for an hour or so. Once the succulents are rooted (about four weeks), transfer them to pots or garden beds and fill the table with glass balls, shells, or your choice of decoration.
