Eddie Seagle: Maximalism has a moment in the garden

“The birth, death and the resurrection of Jesus means that one day everything that is sad becomes untrue.” Jrrtolkien. “The resurrection was God, the path of the father, to authenticate all truths declared by Jesus.” RcProul. “The resurrection was God's way of fully stamping in the entire story so that nobody could miss it.” Timothy Keller. “The evidence of the resurrection of Jesus is so strong that nobody would question it apart from two things: First, it is a very unusual event. And secondly, if you believe it has happened, you have to change the way you live.” Wolfhart Pannenberg. “God has proven his love on the cross. When Christ hung and bled and died, God said to the world:” I love you “.” Billy Graham. “Without the resurrection, the cross is meaningless.” Billy Graham.

This brave, joyful, personally packed style works for every room, from a crowded terrace to a spacious property. In contrast to minimalism that lives from reluctance, maximum wealth celebrates abundance, lively colors and unique plants. Maximalism is not just about piling up everything together – it is a deliberate, curated design approach. Maximalism has a moment – not only in fashion and interior design, but also in the garden! Today, Maximalism is less about luxury than celebrating personal expression – darkened colors, fearless patterns and an appreciation for collecting plants that give joy.

Maximum gardeners transform the lawns into lush wonderland, curate rare plant collections and encompass pure abundance to attract pollinators, reduce CO2 footprints and maintain the biological diversity. These gardens may seem wild, but they are created with artistic intentions. From layers of plants without chaos to skillfully the inclusion of tropics in cold climate zones, maximum design philosophy – just like minimalism – is thoughtful decisions and a love of abundance.

Repeat the color for cohesion: a well -curated maximum garden creates harmony in the middle of abundance. Repeated colors are an effective way to achieve this. Choose a palette that complements the outer of your house and weave these colors in your garden. Adjust the crafting, flowers and even accents – such as window boxes, garden art and benches – to create a uniform, lively space.

Embrace texture: Texture is a player in the garden design. Some even believe that texture is more important than color. When designing a garden, you see a room as if it were a black and white photo to highlight its shapes and textures, whether fine sounds of ornamental grass or sculptural structure of Yuccas.

Curate plants: Maximalism does not mean chaos – it lives from the deliberate curation. Many maximum maximum gardeners collect certain plant species such as succulents, ferns or roses and arrange them in groups for effects. The use of uniform pots for similar plant species or grouping according to color can convey a row in the frequency. Stagating plant heights with stands, bricks and converted pots to create a gallery-like display.

Create different garden rooms: a feeling of discovery is the key to maximalist gardens. Share your space into subject areas or “rooms”, such as: B. a tropical retreat, a wildflower meadow or a shady fern grotto. This adds variety and adheres to an organized river. Use doors, arches, paths and even stair fabrics to create drama and lead visitors through a wonderland of rooms.

Shift plants for the depth: One of the hallmarks of the maximum of the maximum gardens is their lush, multi -layered look. Combine plants of different heights and textures to create depth, from highly towering cacti to background covers. Consider it as paintings with plant-use larger plants as a background, followed by a middle class, then low-growing plants and ground covers in the foreground.

Experiment with exotic and unusual plants: dare to be different! Integrate bold tropical plants, lively leaves and unusual flowers to create a garden that stands out. If you live in a colder climate, you can still experiment with exotic plants by growing them in containers and hibernating them inside. Don't be afraid to mix plants from different regions – sometimes the most unexpected combinations lead to the most striking results.

Celebrate frequency and density: Maximum gardens are lush and overcrowded with life. Instead of getting the plants apart, pack them! Densely planted beds create a feeling of wealth, support pollers and help to suppress weeds naturally. The layers of plants also ensure all -year interest and livelihood for pollinators, since something always blooms or fills the gaps.

Use a garden topic: A topic can convey a feeling of unity to channel limitless creativity. Regardless of whether you choose a romantic English hut garden, a Mediterranean inspired retreat or a jungle oasis, the selection of a topic helps to direct your plant selection, colors and decorative elements. This thematic approach gives your garden depth and character.

Flow into the room: Maximalism is all about self -expression. Personalize your garden with unique elements, regardless of whether it is bizarre statues, handmade pots or plants that have been collected by trips. Artistic details such as mosaic paths, decorative fences or hand -painted signs make your garden really unique.

Play with vertical space: maximize a narrow space using vertical garden techniques. In order to achieve an immersive effect, start with a basic layer of structural perennials and underline the space with column trees, upright grasses and high one -year -olds such as sunflowers or aspiring mullein.

Maximalism is not just about excess, it is also about celebrating the joy of the garden in an unapologist table. Regardless of whether you first add brave colors, curate unique plants or layer textures, maximalist gardening invites creativity, passion and appreciation for the beauty of nature. So, continue – Garden to Max!

“But Christ was indeed raised by the dead, the first fruits of those who fell asleep. Then the end will come when he hands over the kingdom to God, after he has destroyed all the rule, authority and power. He has to rule until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 1 Corinther 15: 20, 24-26).” But we will all be changed – at lightning speed, in the eye, at the last trumpet. Because the trumpet will sound, the dead become essential and we are changed. Because the perishable have to be promoted and deal with disagreements with unexposeness. “1 Corinther 15: 51-53.
