Chickens... but make it part of the garden. 🐓🌿

I love the idea of a chicken coop that doesn’t have to be tucked away and hidden. Give it a pretty little structure, surround it with herbs, flowers and raised beds, and suddenly it becomes part of the garden.

Practical, productive and still beautiful.

I might be a little biased on this one, but I’d happily make room for it in the backyard.

Would you?

Before you choose the plants, the paving, or even the garden style, ask yourself a different question:

**How do I want this space to feel?**

Maybe you want a garden that feels calm and quiet. A place where friends naturally gather. A path that makes you curious about what’s around the corner. Or simply somewhere you can step outside and feel restored.

Once you know the experience you want to create, design decisions become easier. Plants, materials, seating, paths, water, shade—all of those choices can begin working toward the same feeling.

**Start with the experience. Let the design follow.**

What do you want to feel when you step into your garden? 🌿

I love the softer side of fall—copper grasses, dusty rose flowers, and silver leaves catching the afternoon light.

This mix brings those colors together with three plants: little bluestem, Autumn Joy sedum, and lamb’s ear. The grass adds height and movement, the sedum brings generous clusters of fall color, and the lamb’s ear softens the edge.

What makes it feel like a garden rather than a collection of plants? Repetition. Let the same plants appear again a little farther down the bed, in loose groups rather than a strict alternating pattern. Your eye has something familiar to follow.

I’m calling this one “Autumn, Softly,” part of my Favorite Plant Combinations.

Would you bring these softer fall colors into your garden?

I love a beautiful garden, but I also love a garden that gives you a reason to actually go outside and use it.

A bocce court can turn an unused stretch of lawn into a place to gather, play, and spend an evening outside. Add a few chairs, garden lighting, and planting around the edges and it becomes part of the garden even when no one is playing.

Would you give up a little lawn for this? I would. 🌿

It’s tempting to fall in love with a dozen different plants and try to find room for every one of them. But in the garden, **more variety doesn’t always create more beauty.**

One of the simplest ways to make a planting feel calmer and more intentional is to choose fewer varieties—and use more of each.

Instead of scattering individual plants throughout the bed, let them gather in groups and drifts. Repeat those groups farther along the garden and allow them to weave into one another.

You’ll still have plenty of color, texture, and seasonal interest, but the eye begins to see a composition instead of a collection.

**Take a look at your own planting beds—could repeating a few favorites make the whole garden feel more connected?** 🌿

There’s something about an Italian courtyard.

A shady terrace, beautiful old stone, layers of green, and a comfortable place to sit and take in the view.

This is the dream part of garden design for me — finding places and ideas that make you stop and think, *I’d love a little bit of that in my own garden.*

I may not have the Amalfi Coast in my backyard, but I can definitely borrow a little of the feeling.

What would you bring home from this garden?

Not every place in the garden needs to be about doing something.

Sometimes a bench tucked beneath a tree, a chair at the end of a path, or a small table surrounded by planting is enough to make you slow down and stay awhile.

The key is making it feel like it **belongs in the garden**, rather than simply placing a piece of furniture in an open space. A little shade, planting behind you, something beautiful to look toward—those details can turn a simple seat into a place you actually want to use.

Look around your garden. **Where could you create a little place to pause?** 🌿

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this.

One of the easiest ways to make a garden feel more intentional is to decide what gets to lead.

It might be a beautiful tree, a fountain, a sculpture, or even a view. Once you know what the focal point is, everything around it can play a supporting role—planting can frame it, paths can lead toward it, and quieter elements can give it room to stand out.

This is especially helpful when a garden starts to feel a little too busy. Sometimes the answer isn't adding something new. It's deciding what matters most and letting the rest be quiet.

Take a look at your own garden: what's the one thing you want your eye to notice first? 🌿

Have you ever thought about designing your garden from inside your house?

When I'm working on a landscape, I pay close attention to the views from the places people use every day—the kitchen window, breakfast table, living room, or the doors leading outside.

Those windows are essentially picture frames.

A beautiful tree, fountain, layered planting, or quiet garden moment placed along an important sightline means the garden becomes part of your everyday experience—even when you're not outside in it.

Before deciding where something should go in your garden, spend a little time looking out from inside your home. You may discover that the best location is determined by the view you want to create.

A garden shouldn't only be beautiful when you're standing in it. 🌿
