This is my favorite room full of beauty and solitude. The room I’m talking about this time is the botanical garden room and it could look quite different from yard to yard. I love my flowers and sitting enjoying the sound of water from my water garden, the birds and a breeze in the trees.
In bigger yards than I have there could be a number of trees in the back of the yard with a winding path through them with resting places spaced along the path. These are perfect spots for a garden bench or a couple of wooden chairs just to sit and relax. Some might even like to have a garden glider bench to get into the rhythm of nature. If your yard allows for a more wooded area like this (and my yard right now doesn’t) it is a wonderful opportunity for a garden room that provides a kind of private space. I love the smell of the leaves and forest it takes me away from the busyness of life and allows me to relax and enjoy God’s creation.
This room for me needs color and so I have a lot of perennials that grow and bloom and change with the seasons. The color brightens my spirit and calms my soul. This area doesn’t have to be large but it does need to have a quietness which means a sense of enclosure that is usually created by trees, shrubs and sometime structures like garden arbors or fences which allow us to feel separated from the busier parts of the yard.
Whether there is a lot of space or only a little, the garden room is where I want to be. Every time I’m in a yard with this kind of room I find myself gravitating in that direction very quickly.
If you have this kind of room or are just planning or creating it you can find all the garden furniture you need to make this space special in your back yard at our stores “Outdoor Cedars” and “Teaks n More” the links are over to the right and right now everything is on sale till the new year.
