My own piece of paradise
My own piece of paradise
Was lucky enough to get this amazing garden when we bought the house, can't get enough of it.

Looks nice for insects (i mean that in a good way)

It's definitely it's own little ecosystem! Always lots of different bees, lately lots of dragonflies, a couple resident hummingbirds. The bees are currently loving the hydrangeas, looks like a constant swarm around it
Here's said hydrangea, been fading from pink to white as the season goes on.

Those pollinator-friendly gardens are the best kind, not just pretty but actually helping local ecosystems thrive - I've noticed my own garden attracts so many more birds once I let it get a bit wilder!

Wow, that is a very inviting spot.
-
That's an amazing job, the only thing I'd add would be a little bench somewhere to chill in that little green cove
-
Funny you say that, there's a bench directly behind where I took this photo in the corner of the yard. There's a bare trellis there that it backs up to but it's very shaded so I'm still deciding what to put there.. Thinking evergreen clematis or something.

Hammock
-
Too many spiders this time of year for hanging in that corner, haha, they love it in there these later summer months. Otherwise it is a great hammock spot!

It's perfect and wild and calm. Taking a copy to make a background and tap that peace

That footpath is absolutely gorgeous! I envy you! I have a garden too but with three little kids too little time and money to really care for it and make some substantial changes. But I have some raised garden beds which is nice.

Oh yeah I couldn't imagine keeping this yard up while also having kids, lol, my wife and I both spend plenty of time maintaining it most weekends, the weeds are relentless and I refuse to use roundup. The dog loves it! She gets to explore all the smells from the resident critters and still has a good stretch of grass to run

Really lovely. What are you mulching beds with?
-
Honestly, what you see in the Pic is all the previous seasons leaves. Mostly magnolia and Persian ironwood. It's our first full year here so I'm seeing what works, I think a more natural approach is fine with mature trees like these

No hammock ? Then no Paradise
-
Ha, the hammock stand is disassembled at the moment, usually goes out on the lawn. I wouldn't dare hang my camping hammock up under these trees during spider season
