Take it slow and look at this garden

I recently found the Babylonstoren gardens through this video of Monty Don:

Then I visited the website of the business and kept on reading blog post after blog post. 

Here is more on the garden's architecture and its whimsical additions.

There are also delightful brief posts about gardening, chicken, recipes, relaxation, tea, and many other garden-related topics. All accompanied by amazing photographs.

Here is how to enjoy a garden. 

Here is how to make herb salt or maybe violet extract.

July 2018 jungle

Welcome to my jungle! 

The fireworks of lilies are lit in it even in daytime. At night, fireflies zoom in and out.

September 2017 Garden

Somewhere in Northeast America

Mid-July garden

Lettuce in a pot - the only way to keep the lettuce for myself and not feed the rabbits and the groundhog in the backyard

Have you seen flowering garlic - it looks like an alien plant species

Garlic flower up-close but not very personal

My only hydrangea is loaded with flowers

Thyme - this is the second type in my garden; I need to harvest some for a winter tea

Some of the wild flower seeds in my garden created a colorful display

My poor attempt for sustainability: I will have to fight off the zoo in my backyard to keep this squash for myself.

Profusion

These flowers came from the "wild flower seeds for shade" pack
