I have visited so many open gardens this year, and I am way behind on showing you all of them. I visited this particular garden a few weeks ago, as part of The Garden Conservancy's Open Days Program.
This particular garden was attached to a low, mid-century modern type home, surrounded by a woodland garden with a Japanese flavor. However, parts of the garden were much more English in style, as you can see in these photos. Boxwood hedges framed beds in the kitchen garden, and roses and clematis spilled over a central paved pathway.
I will try to show you the woodland and bog gardens later in the week. I will also have a fabulous treat for you, so stay tuned!
Now let's have some mosaic fun! Here are the instructions:

And a quick reminder: if you would like to join Mosaic Monday but don't know quite where to start, there is a tutorial on mosaic-making on my sidebar. Just scroll down, and click on the small blue mosaic.
Beautiful, just beautiful! And love the reflection in the reflecting ball, cool pic!

ReplyDeleteA lovely English garden no matter the style of the house. I also enjoyed catching a glimpse of the photographer.
ReplyDeleteThe views are gorgeous. V
ReplyDeleteWhen I see a garden like this I lust after structure and gravel crush and stone paths - and then there's sure to be more work!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely, and give one a sense of the cool peace in this garden.
Beautiful garden mosaic.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful garden. It looks a lot like my garden...before I open my eyes.
ReplyDeleteRemember to stop by on Tuesday to enter my giveaway.

I so appreciate well thought out gardens. This one is beautiful. Looking forward to your surprise...
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures, but my favorite is your reflection in the garden ball!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting, Mary.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well in your world. :)
Very beautiful! Strolling through gardens and discovering something new around every corner is at the top of my "favorite things to do" list.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine having and maintaining such a beautiful garden! It really is a show piece. Happy new week, Mary!
ReplyDeleteMary, I love The Garden Conservancy's programs, I think I mentioned before. I am so happy to see your beautiful photos since I haven't been able to visit even one open day this year. Beautiful, my friend. Not linking with you today as Yvonne @ StoneGable is doing her 1st link party & I thought I should be there as we are such good blog friends. Sending love....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great garden! In Germany it`s called "Offene Gartenpforten". I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Markus
Gorgeous gardens....
ReplyDeleteLovely post from a lovely woman...
Have a wonderful week.
I think the "open garden" concept is neat - after all I garden to have something to enjoy and if someone else can enjoy it too so much the better.
ReplyDeleteI spy some purple shamrocks! Love the look of those.
Such a beatiful garden you have shared with us this week, Mary.
ReplyDeleteThe choice of plants and shades of green which contrast so well with the clematis, statuary, stone walls and the pergola, made this English girls heart beat a little faster!
This is my perfect dream garden: lots of greenery, box hedges, blue and grey woodwork and complex simplicity. I love it all.
ReplyDeleteAnna
That´s a very beautiful garden :) LG Tina
ReplyDeleteMary this images just make my heart sing. I love these types of gardens. None like that in my small town. Will have to look in the city for some.
