With its giant strawberries and nudity, Hieronymus Bosch’s painting has been seen as a celebration and warning about sin – but it’s really about a Renaissance-era curiosity that helped better explain the world
Mural Description The Garden of Earthly Delights painting by Hieronymus Bosch, 1480-1505. Note: There are no known copyright restrictions with the use of this image. Canvas art and vintage photography images are typically created from high resolution scans. While resolution and quality are adequate for enlarging for our standard size murals, be aware that image detail and characteristics common to canvas art and older photography are magnified when enlarged for a wall mural. Materials MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY We strive to help you choose the right material for your wall mural project. Our products are designed to work on ideally prepared surfaces, preferably smooth walls with a high-quality paint and primer. While we do offer materials compatible with varying wall surface types, some paints may inhibit adhesion of peel-and-stick products, and some wall textures may not provide enough surface area to stick; a combination of those two make it even trickier. There are endless combinations of wall paint and wall textures out there and we can’t test all of them. If you're unsure, we recommend ordering swatches of our materials to test adhesion prior to installation. If you believe your wall surface may be a problem, please consider our pasted products, UltraStik™ (pre-pasted) and ProStik™ (requires paste), for a more universally compatible installation or take the necessary steps to properly prepare your wall surface as described in detail below. Modern Paint Formulations: Some modern wall paints can make self-adhesive (peel and stick) murals more challenging to install. Washable, durable, low-VOC and No-VOC paints may contain additives which can inhibit proper mural adhesion. Proper cleaning and dry time of the wall surface with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (70%) and water (30%) MAY significantly improve the adhesion. However, we highly recommend preparing the surface in advance using a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. Use this clear coat sealant to cover the area where the mural will be applied to the wall surface. Wait at least 24 hours (preferably longer) before installing the mural. If applying to newly painted walls, wait 10-14 days before installation. Unpainted drywall, or walls with inferior paint applications, may be problematic and need attention before beginning your mural installation. Contact Us if you have questions. Wall Textures: Many walls have been treated with an added decorative texture like orange peel, knockdown, stipple, etc. For these wall surface textures, it is crucial that they are properly prepared and the right mural material is chosen for peel and stick materials. If possible, consider smoothing out your wall texture with a skim-coating of drywall compound before priming and painting; this will give the ideal wall surface with few imperfections. If skim-coating is not an option, sand any rough areas and eliminate as many high spots and ridges as possible, and consider applying a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. Use this clear coat sealant to cover the area where the mural will be applied to the wall surface. Wait at least 24 hours (preferably longer) before installing the mural. **We aim to address customer concerns such as these and provide suggestions for the best mural experience for our customers. Magic Murals cannot accept, refund or replace returned murals due to incompatible wall surfaces. Ultimately, it is the customer’s responsibility to install a mural according to its instructions and take the necessary steps to properly prepare the wall surface prior to installation.** COMPARE OUR MATERIALS Our materials feature a matte finish for extremely vibrant colors and reduced glare.

The white garden at Larkwhistle Garden on the Bruce Peninsula. One of the most celebrated and iconic gardens in the world is one based around a single color–white. Created by Vita Sackville-West with her husband Harold Nicolson within the ruins of a Tudor manor house, the white garden at Sissinghurst was one of Vita's many experiments with color. Vita's idea was to limit the flower colors to just one to better focus visitors attention on other design elements; texture, shape and form. Created to peak mid-summer, the garden was planted with a romantic mix of flowers like white lilies, delphiniums and roses set against a backdrop of silver and green foliage. Limiting a whole garden to a single flower color would certainly require discipline. You'd need to have the willpower to pass on that sky-blue delphinium or the pretty pink rose you saw on your last visit to the local garden centre. Most gardeners, including Vita herself, would probably struggle with those restrictions. The white garden at Sissinghurst Castle was just one of ten "rooms", so Vita had plenty of opportunities to express her love of color elsewhere. A white climbing rose in a private garden in Toronto, ON. A white rose. I adore color, so making a white garden hasn't appealed to me until recently. The change of heart began when we lost a large tree at the side of the house. The little courtyard with the tree at its centre was my favourite part of the garden, not because it was especially pretty, but because it always felt cool, comfortable and private the moment you opened the back gate. We've since replaced the fallen tree, but the magnolia we planted is still spindly and small. How I miss that old feeling of quiet and calm! While we wait for the new tree to mature, I began to think of other ways I might recreate the old feeling of a soothing green oasis. That's when it occurred to me to create a white garden. There are so many great white options for spring: white tulips, narcissus and Spring Snowflakes, Leucojum vernum. Daffodils Allium To my mind, there are two ways to go about creating a white garden. You can start from scratch and grow only white flowers or you can work with an existing garden and slowly edit out the other colors. For me the working method will be the latter. There are a few hostas with lavender flowers that were shaded by the old tree. I was too busy to move them last year and the poor things got scorched, so they need to go, white garden or no. Echinacea purpurea 'Pow Wow White' Whether you are starting from scratch or editing an existing planting scheme, a few boundaries will need to be set. For instance, is a cream-colored flower close enough to be considered "white"? And is a white flower with a yellow centre "white" enough to be included in your white garden? I have a feeling that Vita might think that a cream flower and the Echinacea above aren't "white", but what the heck, her vote isn't the important one. It's your garden and there is no right or wrong answer. Only you can decide. One of the things that interests me the most is the sheer challenge of working with one basic color. I think Vita felt the same way. "It is something more than merely interesting. It is great fun and endlessly amusing as an experiment, capable of perennial improvements as you take away the things that don't fit in, or that don't satisfy you, and replace them by something you like better," she wrote in her weekly newspaper column. Here are a few ideas to get you started: • Plan for flowers in each season. Bulbs and early perennials are a great way to start off in the spring. Follow with annuals and mid-season perennials. Keep the color going into late summer with flowers like Sedum, Phlox, hardy Hibiscus and Turtlehead. • Shrubs and trees can also be a source of white flowers and add structure to the garden. • One of the things Vita hoped to emphasize was form. You can do this as well by including a variety of flower shapes. For instance, lilies can have trumpet-shaped flowers while Delphinium has tall flower spires. • Use white or neutral colored flower pots or lined baskets for annuals. • Use plants that have interesting variegation and foliage that has a variety of shapes. White Columbine The white garden at Larkwhistle Garden on the Bruce Peninsula. White Lilac There is one other advantage in creating this type of garden that I want to mention. Vita Sackville-West located her white garden in a place that she and her family liked to gather for dinner in the summertime. White flowers take on a luminous glow as twilight descends. If you are considering making your own white garden, locating it next to a deck or patio where you dine in the evening might be a nice idea. White peonies at the Toronto Botanical Garden. Lavatera (annual) Phlox paniculata 'David' Though a single flower color was the core feature in Vita's white garden, she played it against a backdrop of mixed greens and silvery foliage. Artemisia and Lamb's Ears Here's a list of silver-grey plants: Lamb's Ears, Stachys byzantina Lavender (white flowering of course) Artemisia (A word of caution: chose your Artemisia carefully. Some types can be aggressive.) Sea Holly (Eryngium 'Miss Willmot's Ghost) Snow-in-Summer (Another word of caution: this can be an aggressive groundcover. Chose your location carefully) Dusty Miller Dusty Miller (Annual) Culver's Root, Veronicastrum virginicum 'Album' A late summer white: Balloon Flower, Platycodon grandiflorus If a white garden is of interest, here are some of the many plants you might want to consider: White Flowers for the Spring Garden: Bulbs: Hyacinth, Daffodils, Tulips, Scilla, Grape Hyacinths, Allium Annuals: Alyssum Low growing/rockgarden: Creeping or Moss Phlox, Candytuft, Arabis Perennials: Columbine, Bearded Iris, Japanese Iris, Salvia, Campanula Shrubs & Trees: Lilac, Crabapple, Weigela, Viburnum White Flowers for the Summer Garden: Annuals: Nicotiana, Cosmos, Cleome, Moonflowers, Stocks Bulbs and Tubers: Gladiola, Agapanthus, Dahlia Biennials: Hollyhock, Lychnis Perennials: Yarrow (Achillea), Lupine, Shasta Daisy, Bee Balm (Monarda), Oriental Lily, Delphinium, Daylily, Butterfly Flower (Gaura), Coneflower (Echinacea) Shrubs & Trees: Rose, Rose of Sharon, Hydrangea, Butterfly Bush (Buddleia) White Climbers: Sweet Pea, Morning Glory, Rose, Clematis White Flowers for the Late Summer/Fall Garden: Perennials: Turtlehead, Coneflower (Echinacea), Yarrow (Achillea), Phlox, Hardy Hibiscus, Aster If you have any other suggestions, please leave a comment and I'll update the list. Sedum 'Stardust' Peony There is something so fresh about a white flower, don't you think? And at the same time, it feels restful. I am hoping that in creating a white garden at the side of the house I will be recreating that serene feeling that disappeared when we lost the tree. Bookmark this post with a Pin.

Among the choicest of rock garden plants, Saxifraga (Saxifrage) can be annuals, biennials, evergreen or herbaceous perennials. Noted for the exquisite symmetry of their star-shaped flowers and fine-textured foliage, they come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, colors and bloom from late winter through to the frosts of fall. Mostly mat-forming in habit, they are well-suited to rock gardens, troughs, containers. These creeping groundcovers from North America and Europe need good drainage and light soil.

We doubt you will have seen many astilbes like this one! Introduced to gardeners a few years ago, but still hard to find, Astilbe 'Chocolate Shogun' has dark, lacy leaves (probably the darkest of any astilbe), in a distinctive chocolate/bronze colour, that keeps until winter. This makes it a valuable foliage plant but, as a very welcome bonus, in summer the leaves form a perfect backdrop to pale pink feathery flower plumes. These flower spikes move gracefully in even the slightest of breezes. This pink-and-brown combination is both well-suited, and luxuriant! Although this Astilbe grows well in a position in part shade—typical for the genus—Astilbe 'Chocolate Shogun' is more sun- and drought-tolerant than most. It makes a fine border plant, and looks particularly good when growing next to plants with contrasting colours, such as golden-leaved Milium or Hakonechloa. It also looks good planted with Hostas and hardy ferns.
