Hi friends, How have you been ? I know I have been MIA lately, my sincere apologies ... . To compensate that I am back with another beautiful post, only this time it is a garden tour. When I came across Nadia's blog and her charming underwater-world-themed garden, I was amazed. It was so lovely and the way she has brought her theme to life is simply awesome...
This is what Nadia has to say about her sea-themed garden .... "My inspiration for the ocean themed water wise gardens are from my love of the ocean and my equal passion for water wise plants,such as euphorbias, cactus and succulents. I was certified as a scuba diver in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico and returned for many years to vacation and scuba dive in that area. The ocean in this area is landscaped with cactus right up to the shore. It is a beautiful view. The contrast of water next to cactus I thought was unique and serene. I was able to create a mini version of what I loved on vacation by planting an ocean themed garden in my backyard. I used a lot of seashells, glass floats, drift wood and sand to create that ocean look. I filled in the rest with rocks, cactus, succulents and colorful euphorbias known as “firesticks”. Finding succulents that look like coral really added to the effect.Creating landscaping that brings back good memories of places I have been has brought a lot of joy to my daily living and serenity to my home."
Now let's take a walk into Nadia's gorgeous garden ....
Apart from her sea-themed garden I couldn't resist myself from posting some more pictures of her garden from her gorgeous blog ...;-) ;-) ... Have a look at two of my favorites...
