Weird gardens again.... by nikv

Weird gardens again....

On Sunday, I went to teach my strength-training class but when I got there I found that the entire suburb was without power, due to grid maintenance. I was coming down with flu and we waited so long for someone to come with a key that we decided to have coffee instead. 

The coffee shop was also without electricity but they let us order instant coffee and I decided to wander around the garden with my camera for a while. The venue is a converted house that has been turned into a tea garden, pizzeria and a couple of small shops. Obviously it was done by some designer who thought retro kitsch and succulents was the best thing ever. Don't get me wrong, I am all for succulent gardening but this turned out a little too cute for me:

_...and some pansies on the steps_

I give this place about 7/10 on my nasty gnomes scale. The Serbian man who runs the pizzeria is a friend of the people I train with and he makes good pizza and even better Eastern European specials like burek and ćevapčići. 

I also came home with a small souvenir of the garden: a variegated Jade. That's the beauty of succulents - you break off a piece of stem, stick it in the ground and it will grow. Variegated plants don't do well in full sun in my garden but I'll find a shady spot for this one once it is bigger and rooted.

mdaa.... kitch is kitch :/

from all  the pictured above, enamel basins turned into flower pots were the worst for me.

i love this bit.

Yeah, I don't like the enamel crockery as plant pots thing much either. It is big here, though :(
Are you going to start growing succulents sometime?

see, I dont have much capabilities at my home. no plot. 
at my countryside it is another deal, but I come there very very rarely, ...  I do have some (cant tell the names) something like the "Alpine Hill". I love to have those who grow by themselves, and survive, do not disappear after a year or two. Succulents, it seems to me, just such ones exactly. I would love to have more.  When I visit this place (probably in July, maybe in August too)  I will take pics especially for posting here.  :P

I completely agree with you!
I am amused by this "design".
The feeling of beauty is special here    :-))
It makes it clear what is beautiful and what is not ...
I have this succulent     :-))
