Designing Mom's Oasis

May is a special time in Bucks County. There a palpable sense of renewal in the air with the changing season, and it is a month to celebrate the women who hold families together… moms. Nurney Landscaping has had the privilege of crafting countless havens for families to enjoy, but there's something uniquely special about designing a sanctuary tailored for Mom, especially during the Mother’s Day season. 

Picture this: a serene garden retreat where Mom can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, immerse herself in nature's embrace, and rediscover a sense of peace and rejuvenation. Here's how Nurney Landscaping can bring this vision to life:

Floral Symphonies: We work to fill garden beds with an array of flowering plants native to Pennsylvania, such as azaleas, rhododendrons, and lilacs, to provide a fragrant and visually stunning experience. 

Tranquil Water Features: There's something inherently soothing about the gentle babble of a brook or the soft trickle of a fountain. Incorporating a water feature into the landscape not only adds visual appeal but also creates a calming ambiance, perfect for Mom to unwind with a book or simply soak in the beauty around her.

Cozy Seating Nooks: Every oasis needs inviting spots for relaxation and reflection.We like to scatter cozy seating nooks throughout the garden, maybe even nestled beneath the shade of a towering tree or tucked away amidst lush foliage. Whether Mom prefers a rustic bench for quiet contemplation or a plush armchair for curling up with a cup of tea, we like to make sure that there's a perfect spot waiting just for her.

Sensory Gardens: To engage Mom's senses on a deeper level, we can design a sensory garden filled with plants chosen for her, using unique textures, scents, and flavors. From velvety lamb's ear to fragrant lavender and culinary herbs like rosemary and basil, every plant selection invites touch, smell, and even taste, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world.

Space for Family Activities: Sometimes mom’s oasis might be a space that makes it easy to spend time with her family. Nurney Landscape creates patios, fire pits, and outdoor entertainment areas where mom can enjoy quality time with the people she loves most.

Evening Glow: As the sun dips below the horizon and twilight descends, the backyard can transform into a magical realm illuminated by the soft glow of fire pits, lanterns, and twinkling fairy lights. We can strategically place solar-powered lighting fixtures throughout the landscape, casting a warm and inviting ambiance that's perfect for evening strolls or intimate gatherings under the stars.

In crafting this backyard oasis for Mom in Bucks County, our goal is not just to create a beautiful space, but to cultivate an experience—a sanctuary where she can escape the stresses of everyday life, reconnect with herself and her surroundings, and find solace in the timeless rhythms of nature. After all, in a world that's constantly in motion, there's immense value in slowing down, savoring the moment, and finding joy in the simple pleasures that surround us. 

With the season just beginning and a full summer ahead, May is the perfect time to give Mom the backyard oasis she deserves. Give Nurney Landscape & Design a call to get started: (215) 794 - 8599.
