You must be in heaven! So many great ideas for your new garden!So glad you are making the rounds and sharing with all of us. Thanks Phillip!
ReplyDeleteLove that blue wall. The first thing I thought of was your wall in the previous garden. I bet your head is spinning with ideas. These gardens are so lush. It is so dry here the grass is going dormant already. UGH... This post took me to gardening heaven.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these gardens with us! When I saw the blue painted wall I thought of your purple wall right away. I lived most of my life in the San Fransisco area and miss growing plants like hebe. As you well know, there are many beautiful plants to grow in the South where I live now. Glad you are adapting to your new climate zone!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a garden tour to get the garden design juices going. There are terrific examples of asian influence in your photographs. I have grown - and lost - Hebes over the years, they aren't all hardy in the PNW and a cold winter could kill some verities. I was told once that the smaller the leaf of a Hebe, the hardier it is. So far I find it to be true.
