I used to shop for plants the same way I’d shop for anything else—just picking what I liked in the moment. Individually, everything was beautiful… but together, it was a bit overstimulating. Over time, I started approaching our garden differently. Instead of choosing plants one by one, I began working from a simple color palette inspired by our home’s soft green-gray exterior. Purples became a natural contrast to the green undertone, whites were used to soften and brighten, and layered greens helped everything feel grounded and timeless. Now I think less about individual plants—and more about how everything works together as one connected space. Even texture and weather, like rain, change how the garden feels in the best way. It’s a slower, more intentional way to plant—but it’s also more cohesive, and honestly, more cost-effective in the long run.🪻 gardendesign gardeninspiration colorharmony englishgardenstyle outdoorliving LTKdayinmylife LTKSeasonal LTKHome
