Mae West

As always Trish Symons shared amazing pictures, tips and laughs at our meeting in April.

Add some Mae West to your gardens

Presence, Confidence, Charisma and Flamboyance

"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough" - Mae West 

Plant in large clumps this creates presence

Look for places for contrast colors, make sure you consider what is in the background of your gardens

Other things for impact - winding paths (make sure they are wide enough for 2-3 people to walk beside each other) and bold, unique art
