Naturalizing a garden
Naturalizing a garden
The first Spring we were in our home way back in 1983, I was surprised to find my lawn sprinkled with patches of daffodils. The couple who lived here before us were into naturalized gardening. They planted bulbs all over the west side of our property. I’s quite pretty to look at, and very hard to mow around!
Here are several bunches of daffodils inside a patch of periwinkle, that leads into our back woods. This is a link to a post on the subject of naturalized gardens, I made last year around this time.
Hi Elise, Lots of people around here don’t mow anymore. They fill their yard with flowers and shrubs and plants of all kinds –and then they mulch all around to ‘try’ to keep the weeds away. Some people use little pebbles instead of mulch… So far, I still enjoy beautiful grass —but my hubby is the one who mows —and not me!!!! ha
Love your Daff’s.
Hugs,
Betsy

It looks like nature intended it that way.
The folks across the road have some like that along the edge
of the road. (the people with the cows) So for now, that helps me
take my mind off of them. ha.

Pretty little mounds of daffodils but I would hate to have to mow around them.

In response to your comment on my blog:
The yarn is Arucania Ranco Multy in Acorn. The pattern is Blocks of Chocolate. Although it would be a good name for the yarn too.

I love these types of gardens. They are my favorites.
