Iliana Takova has turned her homely passel into a vivacious and lively garden .
" My name is Iliana Takova and I live on in Mount Prospect , Illinois . When I bought my house 6 years ago there was just an empty lawn with 2 dead trees . After I reset the dead trees , I begin to mold on reset the grass and creating the blossom bed . easy , each yr I cleared a surgical incision at a time and pick out the flowers . My ambition has always been to have an English Edwardian manner garden , but regard the Midwest mood I cursorily learned that it was not blend to happen . I had to change my design without compromising the chief look . So after some research and some imaginativeness I settled for a garden which I call a hybridisation between English style and American Prairie style garden .
The garden is changing its gloss with each season attractively recount the Story of the Seasons – from the white iris , daisies , and downcast catmint to the pink Echinacea , lily-livered black eye Susan , and blue fortune , to the beautiful grim - purple coelestinum and aster flower . I desire you enjoy my photo ! "
