My subscription addiction.

Well, what can I say...my other half dreads every year, when I have to renew my many magazine subscriptions. I can understand where he's coming from, but I just don't care enough to seek help.


So, last weekend I was visiting with some friends (both of whom are landscape architects)...and I came across this magazine Garden Design in their mail pile (it was on top, I swear). I knew at that point I wasn't leaving their house with out it. After a few glasses of wine, food, more wine...I convinced them to let me permanently barrow it! SO, sorry to say honey...we will have one more magazine subscription coming to our home :)


I'm so impressed with this publication...it covers everything! Above is an image of a royal purple sage flower, native to Mexico.


It features some of the most beautiful landscaping and design, like this hillside home in central Texas (designed by Selena Souders and Dylan Robertson).


Who knew ferns looked so great! Here is a feature on a variety of ferns and how they can be used as centerpieces.


For those urban folks...dress up your terrace!! Here is a highlight from exterior designer Julie Milligan and her lovely outdoor room.
