Being a frustrated gardener who resides in an inner city apartment I miss the opportunity I had while living in a suburban house to spend all day out in the garden. I could spend hours every day literally 'watching the grass grow'. Well, if the truth be told I hardly had any time to watch the grass grow as having a garden has it's fair share of responsibility, and hours could easily be spent attending to the many chores needing completion.
How often have you walked past a house and though 'you know, that place could be done up so nice...and imagine what you could do with the garden!' .....
Well that's me! I can't look at a house, an apartment, a garden, a balcony or a terrace without seeing it's potential. I love to browse through magazines and loose myself in the beautiful interiors and gardens. I guess that's why these magazines are so popular......we all have a little bit of the 'voyeur' in us. The same applies when looking at a dilapidated old ruin or a 'For Sale' sign in front of an apartment or house. I mentally wander through thinking of all the wonderful things I could do if it were mine......oh, and if I had plenty of money!!!
Well, even if you don't have wads of cash you can still make the most of the space you have around you. Sometimes it's as easy as a coat of paint on a drab wall or bright, colourful fabrics. It might be plants with lush green foliage or elegant flowers. It's thinking outside the square and believing you have the ability to create something lovely.
'grounded GARDENS' is my little place in the world to let my imagination run free!
