Chic vs. Geek: Outdoor Oasis

How can we create a private escape right at home?

CHIC (PEARL)

Add a zen garden! Like a lot of us, I have been feeling a little unbalanced these days. The inability to go out and experience nature has disconnected me from my inner peace. It’s made me think about how I can carve out a peaceful backyard place to bring balance back to my life.

The photo above is from a friend’s home in Venice Beach, CA. The memory of her beautiful and serene garden inspired me to create a space that connects me with nature.

GEEK (KEVIN)

Add a potted patio plant! During shelter in place, one thing that’s drastically changed in our lives is cooking at home and gardening. I’ve been planting strawberries, tomatoes, and herbs in the pots in our backyard and expect to harvest them soon to use in my cooking! 

A garden of fruits, vegetables, and herbs will not only provide healthy, fresh options for your menu, it will also make your garden an interesting and relaxing place to release your stress.
