A Wildly Impressive Garden

On our street there is a supposed garden, but it is really a weed patch. There are a few untended flowers in there, but it is anything but a cultivated garden. We tsk tsk as we pass by, but we don't make a formal complaint to the town. It's a small yard and not near our house after all.

But this is a garden seen on a walk — a wild sort of garden, but a garden nonetheless. Those are flowers, not weeds. Somebody oversees i this patch  



I like it!

  1. A no mow I imagine. A little too wild for my tastes, though.

  2. I love a garden that looks like it just happened -- but not the weeds!

  3. Planting a wild-flower garden actually takes a bit of planning. I've shown a few shots of the one at our nearby lake on a steep slope...a good place to have nature take over in the summer.

  5. I'm sure the insects and other wild life love it, and why not?

  6. My main flowerned has lots of weeds this year. I haven't taken my horseshoe hoe to it even once! I dont like the weeds, but this year, this is how it is.

  8. A little too wild for my taste, I'm afraid. I do like fields of wildflowers though, as long as there's lots of color.

    1. It's ok for someone else, but I wouldn't do it.

  10. I would love that sort of garden - but if I attempt it it becomes over-run with weeds.

  12. Very "bushy" sort of garden. Disinhibited growth

  13. Nice but uninviting. How does one get to the front door?

  14. A re-wilded yard. They are becoming quite popular. It's what I did to my last yard, which was a 10x20 patch of dirt.

  15. I love that too, but in the town I live in, it would be a ticketable offense. There is a fellow who goes around town with a tape measure.

    1. Please tell me that is hyperbole.

  16. It's lovely how it just thrives, full of flowers that aren't trying to be neat. It really shows that beauty comes in all forms, not just the perfectly manicured ones.
