Old Soul Studios Garden
My husband James and I own a business called Old Soul Studios, we specialize in metal art and vintage items with an emphases on garden. We work from a shop at our home and this is the garden around us.
We love to garden and enjoy a wild, creative environment. We let plants come up pretty much wherever they choose and our creations seem to just show up through out the garden in random ways. Nothing is planned and we like it that way.
We have learned that you can garden in just about anything, and garden in anything we do... just have fun!
Our green house is mostly for our succulent collection, during the summer months here in California it gets too hot for anything else to be in there.
We love concrete and try to keep several birdbaths and water vessels throughout the garden for the birds, squirrels and other visiting critters... yesterday it was 106 degrees here so the water was welcomed by all.
This is my second time to participate in Cottage Flora Thursdays, I enjoyed having many new friends drop by last week and really enjoyed all the new blogs I visited. I hope you enjoyed the tour around the garden, it is a wonderful place to work and be inspired. As I toured more garden blogs today I found this ~ An Oregon Cottage Tuesday Garden Party and decided to join in there too!
If you would like to know more about Old Soul Studios you can visit our other blog Old Soul Studios or come like us on Face Book... thanks for dropping by and have a Happy Day! ~ Jacque

Good Morning Jacque. Since I'm sitting in a 8th floor hotel room in San Fran this a.m., it was especially nice to visit your garden.
Very cool! I love the garden shades, so whimsical!

Good morning!... thank you so much for visiting my blog, as now I have found yours as well through Fishtail Cottage... your gardens are just beautiful! I just love all of your vintage elements mixed in everywhere, especially the little vintage dumptruck... I am going to make myself a cup of coffee then come back and look at your other blogs... so very lovely!... xoxo Julie Marie
I am lusting over every photo you have posted today!!!
I wish you weren't in California. I'd be checking out your shop. Looks fascinating.
Jacque, the garden is so inspiring. I love wandering through it via photos. How do you find the time to do this with all you are doing? Looking forward to seeing you Sunday under the freeway. Helen

Enjoyed looking at your garden! I thought Texas was the only place that was so hot during the summer! lol Stay cool! Really like that rooster!
I love rusty garden accents and you have some real treasures. What a fun post to read.
I love the layout of your garden and the inclusion of all the rusty elements in it. I have quite a few fun rusty pieces around my garden areas, too.

I love the metal accents and vintage items in your garden. I just started one of my gardens last and am adding vintage items as I find them. I just became a follower.
