You have to wonder if the gardens in the magazines are like the models in fashion photos....airbrushed and photoshopped to hide the flaws and make everything look perfect. And the comment about plants jumping into the cart is a running joke about getting carried away with purchases at a garden center and not wanting to take the 'blame' for buying soooooo many plants. They all jumped into the cart so I had to bring them home. :-D
well, personally I like the pictures in the, (old) magazines., They give me inspiration., -The old gardens seem a bit romantic to me. The pictures on this website, (GS) also give me inspiration and ideas.
