An Urban Garden

 

I was lucky enough to be visiting some friends on a warm sunny day and got to enjoy the coolness of their beautiful back garden. I think the temperature dropped by 5 degrees as soon as we went out there. You never know what can be lurking behind a simple house.

There is something so magical about those hidden sanctuary spaces lurking right behind a simple, unassuming house facade. It really makes you wonder how many secret, beautiful paradises are tucked away just out of sight down an ordinary residential street.
Did your friends have a particular spot back there that you gravitated toward, like a cozy shaded patio or a bench tucked under some overhanging trees, or were you too busy exploring all the different plants they managed to pack into the space?

Your friends have created a wonderful oasis right out their back door. It's beautiful.

I don't think anyone but ourselves realizes what a sanctuary we have out behind the house.
