Beautiful gardens!! Thank you for sharing, Phillip.
ReplyDeleteI love these kinds of gardens where you feel enveloped by plants. All the "things" in the garden make it fun too. I love the mosaic rugs in the last garden. I wish I had patience and the know how to make one.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love these gardens, especially the pebble mosaics. The sense of enclosure and being surrounded by cool plants and awesome garden art makes me smile! Thanks for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteDeborah Myers has an incredible sense of plant combinations and her bamboo grove is gorgeous. Nancy Goldman's garden is full of whimsy and creativity. I love the mosaic pebble rug. Visitors who wouldn't wipe their shoes on the rug, had to take them off; hence the collection of planted-shoe rack.
ReplyDeleteI first discovered these gardens on a walk, then later was able to visit them during an HPSO Open Garden. Such fun! I'm sorry to have missed them this year.
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing gardens! I particularly like the mosaic paths, etc.
