House of Hipsters and Jojotastic both just finished up their patio makeovers, and now I’m inspired to get outside and do a bit of sprucing up! I’ve worked on the front porch before, but there are two small porches in the back that could use a little love too.

Looking again at Jenna Lyons’ garden, a lot of the magic was in the photography but man does that overhead shot continue to inspire.

Are you doing the 31 Day Flower Drawing Challenge?
“It will only take a lily bit of time to become an expert at flower drawing.” (Gotta love the pun-filled intro video!) -
Where did I read about climbing hydrangeas recently, was it Martha Stewart Living? I was at Jayson Home yesterday looking at the plants, and they said people have been buying them like crazy this year. I wanted to pick up a plant or two, but I should probably make a plan first.
Those foxgloves though! Too bad they’re so toxic because they would look amazing in front of my house. -
I’m currently rereading my copy of Charlotte Moss’ Garden Inspirations, and Bunny Williams’ On Garden Style is next. Any gardening books I should add to my list?

You know what I want? I want a garden planner kind of like those anatomy books for kids with the transparent overlays of the body where you can peel away the layers of skin, muscle, organs, and blood vessels until you’re left with the skeleton. I want to see full-sized plants, suited for our garden zone and sun exposure, that I can layer together so I can figure this whole thing out. I had high hopes for the BHG Garden Planner but it’s not actually all that practical. Is there a book, kit, site, or app like this that you would recommend?
