Taking a Grand Idea & Making it Creative
Are you the type of person who starts WAY too many seeds or envisions multiple garden themes, or even starts thinking about the layout for a new garden in January?
If so, you are among friends here!
In order to put my ideas on paper, I created a garden vision board. A collage of sorts with bits of dried herbs, magazine cut outs, photographs and even dried flowers. This creative processed allowed me to dream the grandest dream about what type of garden I would love to have this spring.
To Make Your Own You Need:
Construction paper/poster paper
A frame any size
Scissors
Dried Herbs
Magazines to cut
Dried Flowers
Hot glue
Seed Catalog (yea!)
Affirmation cards (optional)
Your imagination - <3
Dream up your perfect garden and arrange your items on your frame base or poster paper. The world is your oyster, no idea is too great for you to envision. Go big or go home, as they say.
Think about how these elements will eventually play into your garden. Decide what you feel is realistic and what may be too far fetched at this point in your garden journey. Although they should still be added to your vision board!
Hot glue the elements down when you have your layout completed
Place your vision board somewhere you can see it every day and help it guide you as you plan your garden for the upcoming season.
I was able to come up with a few garden themes, hardscape ideas, various layouts, as well as specific plants I would like to attempt to grow.
This year, I plan to focus on play and interspersing companion plants throughout a madanda/keyhole shape garden. The focal point in the center will feature beans and butterfly peas growing up a bamboo, teepee trellis. My goal is to have play spaces for my children to dream and imagine new worlds.
