A Garden in Peachtree City, Georgia

A water feature is the focal point of this garden

Today we ’re visiting Bonnie Helander ’s garden .

Hello ! I live in Peachtree City , Georgia , and have been garden here since 2004 . My pool and falls work the focal point of the back garden . The scene bind of the pool is what my married man and I see from our back deck of cards . My husband , Dan , has saved and repaired vintage death chair and other seating , and we painted the mismatched chairs in salmon , yellow-bellied , or purple to add a poke of colour in the garden . Dan also built thegarden shedin the back . We do all our own horticulture , and while this is all - consuming , it is genuinely a labor of passion . As the Taiwanese saw says , “ Life begins the day you start a garden . ”

The pond and falls in the outflow of 2019 . What a magnificent focal point for the garden .

The garden arbor is covered with star jasmine ( Trachelospermumjasminoides , Zones 8–10 ) , which is both beautiful and superbly fragrant .

Garden carving in a sea of riotous verdure . The white peak are fromchameleon plant(Houttuyniacordata , Zones 4–10 ) . Be warned that this plant can spread very sharply , so plant with precaution .

A beautiful Japanese maple ( Acerpalmatum , Zones 5–9 )

time of origin , mismatch chairwoman paint burnished colouring material add a cheerful preeminence to this sitting sphere .

The beautiful shed built by Bonnie ’s husband , Dan . “ Shed ” feels like the amiss parole for this beautiful little building ! I like my shed looked this goodness . Maybe I can adopt Dan .

The nerve pathway through the upper garden , lined with brightly paint chair , leads to the shed .
