And so it begins... What you ask? The creation of my new white garden! I am beyond excited. Up to last weekend I mainly have been trimming back trees, weeding, preparing the future garden beds by putting down a thick layer of mulch, and edging the beds with natural lime stones that can be found on our property. And even though I only have been able to get a small part of the frontyard ready for planting, when we had to go to Home Depot to buy something essential that we needed for the house, I couldn’t resist the temptation and popped into the nursery and got the first plants for the white garden. Yes, this white delphinium was relatively expensive and it probably won’t last too long in the Texas summer heat but I couldn’t pass up this beautiful unnamed variety and see it as a gift to myself for all the hard work that I have put into the garden so far. I have always adored these amazingly pretty and elegant plants and I am so happy to have one blooming in my own garden now! On another note, this is already my 500th post on Instagram! I hardly can believe it! I thought about what to post on this special occasion and even though I was tempted to pick a particularly beautiful photo from one of my garden tours in England I decided to choose one from my own budding garden here in Austin, Texas because that, my friends, makes it very special to me! . . . #delphinium #delphiniums #beautiful #elegant #special #whitedelphinium #whitedelphiniums #mygarden #privategarden #white #whitegarden #moongarden #austin #austingardens #austintexas #texas #texasgardens #gardening #whiteflowers #500thpost #garden #gardens #centraltexasgardening #centraltexasgardener (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ht7xfg7J-/?igshid=v4f051x44pp0

A White Garden in late September *** Moonflowers, Angel’s Trumpets, Four O’Clocks , Nicotiana Sylvestris and Nicotiana are just some of the flowers I love having in my garden. So far, the weather has been great for my flowers and I’m still hoping for a few more weeks of warm weather for more buds to bloom.♥️#gardening #whitegarden #moonflower #moonflowers #angelstrumpet #nicotiana #midnightblooms #magical #mindfulness#summer #fall #autumn #happy #joy #ghostales1957 #ottawa #nature #life (at Kemptville District Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mWERonRR5/?igshid=11kj3k8s4gbbu

Love this spot in the White Garden at Sissinghurst.It's got all the traditional elements for relaxing outside which cold be expressedin a modern idiom, if that's your preference: comfy furniture, natural materials, intimate size, overhead pergola, enclosing walls, and of course, plants. You always have to have plants. Share with a garden designer! CarexTours: http://www.carexdesign.com/tours/.

Someone requested an image of these beautiful white oak leaf hydrangeas. White of a different order. Ask and ye shall receive. Dreaming about them as well. Some of the flower heads are over a foot long:) #hydrangeas #lindavater #askandyeshallreceive #whitegarden #fern (at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)
