Boxwood Bliss

While envisioning a design for my back yard, I always found myself drawn back to images of Boxwood gardens.  The rounded; spiral, boxed, or swirled shrub,  spoke to me in volumes of  class, glamour & of course elegance. 

As long as I can remember my dad has had an affinity for gardening. I remember on the weekends he'd be out in the backyard, pruning, planting & precisely trimming his array of plants & bonsai. He's so good at it. 

Maintaining these bushes definitely takes a certain amount of talent & restraint; & that I've always admired.

Even when used in more modern spaces, the bush adds a touch of softness while still being perfectly trimmed.
