Today, we'll just see a teeny tiny portion. It's a good place to begin.
Remember I told you about the seating areas? I had hardly turned the corner when I saw this one.
We're going into a courtyard area...let me just tell you, it represents a unique area in the garden (one of many).
A small garden within a garden:
Need a seat?
Don't forget to look up:
Here's where we turn:

I bet you saw it, too...
Clematis Armandii
Well, with necessity out of the way (use your imagination), we'll see a few more views here.
Did you notice what's on the trellis (there's one on each side)? A Dendrobium Orchid...
Looking back through:
In case you need to rest a minute...
This will lead us into another area...there are so many things to see here! In Part 3, we'll move on into the garden itself...
I can't quite decide which bench I liked the best. They are all beautiful spots to sit for a spell.
ReplyDeleteThe big green pot is spectacular. I'm looking forward to reading your part 3!
I have been smiling ever since you wrote about your daughter's school mascot being a squirrel.
I'm with you! The benches are fantastic. In fact, the whole thing is fantastic. So fantastic I think I need to sit down. Where's a garden bench when I need one! ~A :-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Wow. WOW. Here I've been worried about having too much silver in my garden. Instead, I should have been trying to figure out how best to work in more.
ReplyDeleteWOW.
Love the silvery courtyard garden - such a great design.
