The Budd Garden

The orangerie covered in snow. Got about 300 mm over night and it's still coming down. Love it ❄💙 and it's good for the plants 🌿❄

Still renovating windows for the orangerie 😨 and also made a sample board to see what panel, colours etc to use. Thought I had decided what colours to go for but not sure now. The windows are fine but not sure about the two greens for the wall. My brain is really into details and colours so it needs to be right. Its difficult to see the colour in this photo but I will later put it out in the garden to see what it looks like out in the daylight ☀️

Building an orangerie in my new garden in Sweden. It goes slowly as its built in our spare time. FINALLY I have decided (probably 🤪) the colours for the orangerie. It's a long time until painting but needed to decide already now as I'm renovating/painting the windows now. I love olive green so not a big surprise there that the main colour is "olive green" 😁💚. Details in a lighter green colour called "ask" and doors and windows in "faluröd" which is a brownish red. My house is yellow brick with small dashes of green and orangered so hope it will match. I'm not keen on yellow so had to find colours that goes with it. For more pictures of how our new garden progresses check out on instagram

Wohoo!! THE HAPPINESS when you find these stones dug down in the garden. They will be perfect for the steps im planning for in my new garden. HAPPY all day 👍🤗❤

Finally started work in our new garden. Moved a lot of slabs in preparation of the tanking of the cellar walls. All existing materials in the garden is going to be reused, not knowing in what way yet but I will find out something to use it for. Who needs a gym? 😉👍

One can not have too many stones. These three tones of stones later became a long curved stonewall. Hard work but so much fun. Used almost all of the stones. The right one in the right place is the key.

One can never get too many stones/rocks, just wonder how I'm going to move these to their right place 😂 Well thats a later question, now i can only dream about how lovely ot will be to work on it

Here is the tree stump / parasol holder done. Made out of concrete and final coat of cement and dyed with pigments.

Lanscaping around a pondless waterfall I've built. The big rocks in the background I've made out of hypertufa

A bit later and I've started to build the base for the tree stump/parasol holder
