Ten years ago when I still owned and ran my shop “Eliza Grays Goods” I have to admit that I was a bit stressed at times! My boys were twelve and ten years old and my husband was traveling alot for business. I was trying to do it all…painting, parenting, practicing Yoga, and more. That’s when I decided that I needed a “White Garden”. Somewhere that I could sit and decompress… embraced by a calming shroud of all white flowers to soothe my busy mind.
Years later I still begin each day either sitting on the white Victorian bench in the garden or inside looking out at the birds perching on white petals.
Some morning soon…when the light is just right I’m going to set up my easel and paint my white garden!

I love this! What a great idea to have a white garden. So beautiful and peaceful
It sort of goes along with my “simplify” philosophy!. A few blue “forget me nots” have snuck in and a couple of other wild flowers but it is basically all white….so soothing on hot summer days.
Gardens are filled with messages from nature & from God. So glad that you have this special place to be still and let the blessings flow over you. Peace!
