I'm very proud to live in New Jersey, where our state's nickname is "The Garden State." Every year I love to visit the gardens that are open as part of The Garden Conservancy's Open Days program. This garden is called The Architect's Garden. I have visited it in year's past, and have always been in love with the bones of the garden -- it's beautiful stone walls and gravel paths. Paired with some wonderful antique garden ornaments and boxwood hedges, these architectural elements help to create strong outdoor rooms.
I have at least two more posts full of photos from this garden, so stay tuned for more. :)
Here are the instructions to join today's post:

Hello Mary
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful - especially the dry stone walls and the gravel paths.
The bones of the garden are so important, especially where Winters are harsh as there is no interest from shrubs and flowers then.
I'll look forward to seeing your follow up posts on this garden!
The middle part of the house is quite lovely.
I've linked my post to you today. Mary, thank you for hosting Mosaic Monday.
Wishing you a very happy week
