Victorian Garden

"Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps,
Perennial pleasures plants, and wholesome harvest reaps."
Amos Bronson Alcott



I love when old things are made to look fresh and new. Take for example this lovely antique botanical print given new life by Concentric. So vibrant and fresh, yet nostalgic and Victorian!

Don't have much of a green thumb? This amazing stained glass conservatory from Firefallvisions allows you to have a beautiful Victorian garden inside! All you need is a plant or two!

How beautiful is this photo print from Missquitecontrary?! Big pink roses contrasted against crumbling stone and arbor, taken with an antique camera. Check out the listing, that is actually her house, lucky!

This Victorian garden necklace from Tzaddishop is SUCH a DEAL! Reversable so you get not just the image shown but another as well! There is so much thought in every detail right down to the chain and clasp.
