A ‘Potager’ is the French term for an ornamental vegetable or kitchen garden. The design is rooted in the gardens of the French Renaissance and Baroque eras. Often flowers and herbs are planted with the vegetables for visual beauty, making this style of garden multi-functional and low maintenance.

Whilst perusing Pinterest one day I happened upon this style and totally fell in love. Could it be duplicated on Lost Horizon I wondered ? The above photo is of course an overview of the potager.  My goal was to keep it simple in design but still pleasing to the eye. Think Country-French. The rest of the photos, and there are many, are shot from different angles and areas of the potager. It’s a long read what with credits, but I hope you enjoy and maybe become inspired to create your own potager.

Potager2b

It’s no secret that I park my avatar in a chair, tub, on a sofa or in a swing while working on a blog post or chatting to friends. It was important to have an area set aside in the potager to sit and wile away the hours.

Potager3b

I am a firm believer in spending time outdoors with nature and what would nature be without the sounds of water bubbling, birds singing and bees buzzing about?

Potager4b

Here you will also find ducks and their ducklings, chicks, hens and a solitary rooster who thinks he rules the roost. Who am I to burst his bubble ?

Potager5b

Other residents of the potager include bunnies, a hedgehog, a hammie feasting on strawberries along with a mischievous little puppy digging holes trying to catch Mr. Mole.

Potager6b

The fragrance of roses, lavender, herbs and plain ole dirt with a hint of manure fills the air.  Everywhere one looks color abounds…a feast for the senses.

Potager7b

When planning the potager layout a priority was to make it so one could walk around the perimeter of the garden, which makes it easier to harvest the vegetables, herbs and flowers.

Potager8b

While separated by fencing and hedging it was important to incorporate the rear patio into the design to make it all flow effortlessly.  That was the goal anyway.

Potager9b

There are future plans to have tables set out for al fresco dining on the weekends, and the patio floor is intan ready now.  Look closely and you can see a hint of cougar fur peeking out from the hedges.  Kamama likes to take her naps there.

Potager10b

Now to the meat and potatoes of the potager.  There are a total of fifty-seven designers/creators represented in the potager.  Yep, 57, which is why I delayed in blogging this lol.  I am not going to list credits by photo.  Instead each designer/creator will be listed and what was used.  If something peaks your interest just IM me or better yet stop by and see  the potager in person.  Lost Horizon is open every Thursday from 6PM SLT to Sunday 6 AM SLT.  We’ll be waiting for you.  Be kind to one another. TWMA♥

Photographed at Lost Horizon, Azumi ~ New living/lounge room

I just love these silk pajamas from LMD (Leri Miles Designs) for this months round at Mesh Avenue.  Hayworth comes in several color options, sure to please anyone, and they are the perfect choice for just lounging away the day in.  Last day to get these at Mesh Avenue is October 30th.

EarthStones is having a in store Mystery Hunt for the Halloween season. There are 22 bags of goodies.  Some are for men, some are uni-sex and there are bags just for us ladies 🙂 The bags range in price from 0L – 99L and you do not know what you get until you rez the bag and open it.  Not to give anything away for those that love a good hunt…I found every bag and not one piece of jewelry did I have in my personal collection, and I have just about all of it lol. Check out all the information and rules of the hunt which ends November 1st at EarthStones.

The transformation continues at Lost Horizon and above is a tiny peek at the living/lounge area.

Happy Hump Day everyone.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
