It seems like so long ago that I started writing about the Architect's Garden, which I visited this summer as part of the Garden Conservancy's Open Days program. Here is part two of my posts. I still have more photos from this amazing garden -- maybe next week. :)
When the current owners bought the land, it was the site of a dairy farm. They renovated the barns to create an original and beautiful home, and laid out several acres of gardens, using stone walls, gravel and box hedges to delineate several garden rooms. I would love to see the garden in winter. I suspect that it is quite beautiful, even without flowers. As we wandered through, I couldn't resist taking some pictures of the tools that were scattered around. They, too, have a certain beauty all their own.
For my blogging friends in the United States, I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! :)

I enjoyed the tour and these lovely photos. I hope this week has been better for you and that you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary -- a lovely tour indeed (and I love the tools in all their utilitarian beauty). It is no wonder it seems like last summer seems a long time ago -- you've had quite a bit of excitement since then. I'm so glad you weathered the storm more or less intact and I thank you again for the work you do in hosting this meme -- and for your beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the grounds. Thanks for the wishes for Thanksgiving. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteMary, did I misunderstand? I am not sure if you are in North America and celebrating Thanksgiving or not - but if you are I certainly wish you a happy thanksgiving also!
ReplyDeleteWonderful patina on the bench, tools and watering cans against the shed. Lovely garden tour, glad you shared. Thank you for hosting.

Happy Thanksgiving Mary! The garden is really so pretty and it looks like the sunshine was still warming the earth nicely, when you made your visit. The old sprinkling cans...remind me of my mothers and aunties. Take care~
