Private Gardens have long been a part of one of the most gorgeous estates in Europe from time immemorial. Gardening has then been sought after by people who want to make their homes more fragrant and exuding with color. Uncover these private gardens and what comes of them, and let it inspire you to improve your own gardens at home.
According to Forbes, Norm Bodine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich stated that he had used gardening as a self-defense activity into turning his home more admirable and beautiful than usual. About six years ago, he set out to terrace the hillside on his one-acre property. In order to make his property more appealing, he started adding in ponds, a waterfall, and a Japanese garden. Since then, he has been spending at least 90 minutes of his day sustaining the beauty that he has created.
For Bodine, gardening became a form of exercise as opposed to keeping fit by attending the gym. He said that being a retired manufacturing executive, it was the 59-year-old's dream to have a wondrous garden within his home.
Time came that Bodine opened his doors for visitors to admire his gardening efforts through the Garden Conservancy's Open Days Program. This program would enable the people to get a glance and experience the beauty of private gardens that could help them get inspired to beautify their very own.
According to Telegraph, there are also private gardens located in Europe that would excite any gardening enthusiasts out there. Like the Garden Conservancy's Open Days Program, Europe has the National Trust that keeps these gardens up and alive. One of them is Great Dixter in East Sussex, owned by garderning writer Christopher Lloyd. Another is that of Scampston Walled Gardens in North Yorkshire, which is also considered as one of the region's finest gardens. It has its historical kitchen garden designed with a contemporary style. Another one is that of East Ruston gardens located in Norfolk-- a 32-acre garden composed of bold modern planting with a traditional formal deign. It is also noted that several plants found there are extremely rare and unusual.
Now that you have a glimpse of what a state-of-the-art private garden looks like, what it has and what makes it stand out, have you decided whether yours should be designed with a modern style, instilled with a pool, or planted with rare flowers? Either way, these private gardens will surely aid you in creating a masterpiece!
