Wir haben gerade dieses Haus gekauft und ich habe die feste Absicht, es zum Leben zu erwecken. Ich bin auf der Suche nach einem märchenhaften Bauerngarten. Diese Ecke ist traurig und ich mag das Grau nicht. Ist dieses Projekt realistisch? Zone 8b und dieser Bereich bekommt volle Sonne

    No, those things need shade and you don’t want plants growing up or on the shed unless you want the shed destroyed.

    The look/vibe is achievable, just not with those plants in full sun.

    I think pots with the lasagna method of planting bulbs or dahlias would be beautiful if you are willing to water. Drought resistant sedum is beautiful. Native plants like coneflower and rudbeckia are also easy. All these are perennials.

    An Australian tree fern will handle lots of sun, for that element. The spikes of flowers can be lots of different stuff, I’d urge you to look at hedychium butterfly ginger or snowdrift curcuma turmeric as it would sub for the hosta nicely, though it still needs light shade. Peruvian Lilies can offer something similar in the sun as well. Beautiful inspo!

    I also love the feel of climbing vines growing over my stuff. And as a carpenter I let them! Yeah they do a little damage over time, but a shed is easy to fix if needed. The more aggressive dangerous ones are also the ones that grow fastest and look the coolest sooner lol

  6. For the love of god done by English Ivy unless you’re in England. Our creek bank is over run with Ivy and growing on most trees killing it

    Life is short and it’s a shed. Paint it, add trim, grow vines, go crazy.

  8. Bougainvillea? Just no wind, if you get a lot of sun could be ok but cover in winter

    Omg that looks so dreamy! Would you know what shade of green that is? I’d love that for my house exterior

    That’s such a cute goal! I suggest looking into cottage garden cut flowers for the pots. Things that will attract pollinators for your fairy friends. For the vine, you’ve gotten some aggressive comments discouraging you already, but I think you could plant a less woody vine on a trellis. Clematis comes to mind. No risk of it destroying the shed because it dies back every winter. The vines love full sun, but the roots prefer some cool shade. Beautiful blooms will cover it every summer. 

    I hope you post update photos because you have a great canvas here!

    Instead of vines on the roof, add some nice, full hanging baskets!

    This is really just paint and a load of potted plants so it’s absolutely doable

    Aloes and agaves would work in the pots in full sun. Get the not super-stabby agaves though

    Sturdy trellises along the sides with a locally native vine (coral honeysuckle is good for full sun & not damaging structures where I am).

    You’ll have to water containers a lot whatever you plant, since with full sun and pavement it will get hot and dry. So keep that in mind.

  15. Sure! Just make sure you don’t plant aggressive climbers. Is this full, or part sun?

    I vote for painting it a fun color, first. Shoot, I can’t drop you a pic. My shed is bright lime green, with purple and turquoise trim. I have a clematis climbing on it. I have pots hanging and on the ground. PM me if you want a pic.

    You would also have a really hard time with foxgloves in a container because they need to reseed themselves to come back. They need shade and ground space for the seeds to get in the soil.

    I’d start with the window box and a few pots around the shed and go from there. Definitely look into which climbing plants are best for your region and won’t become invasive or problematic. But I’d definitely start slow.

    Are you southern 8b or PNW 8b? If southern, many of those plants will absolutely fry in full sun. If you’re on the Oregon coast or something, they might do OK, but in that case I’d say you should use your full sun for plants that actually like it. Also, honeysuckle is invasive in many parts of the country.
