Team Whimsy for me. I crossed over around 10 years ago. No stiff, formal, rules for me. With age I am learning more & more as well as appreciating more & more how to relax & accept what plants do naturally. You really can't fight Mother Nature; you'll wear yourself out trying to!
Give me a relaxed garden with surprises around this corner or that & I feel comfortable either being in my own or as a visitor to others. I'm beginning to not even enjoy looking at the formal, rule laden gardens. They stifle my breathing even while looking from afar.
I've gone all casual & natural both inside & out, physically & metaphorically.
