Which is what makes this little garden on my patio a breath of fresh air. This 2 x 2 foot plot is dedicated to soft greens and gray. The area exists in the middle of our patio because we had tried to save a tree when our house was built. When we designed the patio, we created this little haven around it in the hopes that it would live. Alas, it did not and I was left with this green space.
I decided to play up the shades of gray in the cement and wood border and have filled the area with lavender plants (smells divine!), two bee skeps (that I bought at a barn sale) and a variety of hen and chicks surrounded by moss from the cottage.
It almost looks like a fairy garden, don't you think? I am tempted to place a dollhouse-size bench in a shady spot near the lavender, just in case someone wants to sit down.
Sometimes delight is really tiny.
