Botanical Inspiration: The Home Garden

February 1, 2013

the moody garden

I can’t help feeling inspired by our garden.  It is at times moody;  bright and mysterious at others.  As I explore it,  I realize just how much I yearn to again work with plants on a daily basis.   When I think back on studying horticulture, or working at nurseries, or creating botanical designs at Cocoon for clients, feelings of joy and contentment immediately come to mind.  Plants have that effect on me.  As we continue settling into our new home and garden,  my mind races with ideas for Cocoon Home: Botanicals!

I just adore tree ferns. There is something magical and mysterious about them. They add a kind of Dr. Seuss quality to your space. Also, the lichens on a branch is a wonderful idea that I have never seen before. I love your mix of the wild and untamed in your gardens!
