Vanessa Nagel's spectacular garden is just a few miles from our house. I saw her garden for the first time last year when it was on the HPSO Garden Tour. This year her garden was on the Clark County Natural Garden Tour. Vanessa is a garden designer and writer and her talented skills are fully on display here. It is just one beautiful scene after another!
As you leave the patio area, there are various pathways to explore. The garden is located on the south side of the house (the north side is currently being developed into a Ravine Garden!). The large garden is divided into various garden rooms.
Such an inspirational garden and full of ideas. I could spend hours here. Thank you Vanessa for opening your garden again!

ReplyDeleteOOOooooo, this is an inspirational garden. What style and nice surprises such as the mosaic circle garden. So glad you showed us this.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of an incredibly lush and textural garden. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've seen a couple of posts about this garden and I am always amazed at the diversity and beauty in every view. Looked like golden sage as a ground cover, yes?
ReplyDeleteThe use of grass in is impressive; no mowing in this garden. They must get wonderful movement with the slightest of breeze. Everything is done with great sense of design. Do share once you figure out how to create a mosaic.
ReplyDeleteWhen we had our bloggers' swap there I was taken by the strong design underlying the plantings. The circle motif really ties it all together.
ReplyDeleteThe deep green of Pacific NW gardens never ceases to amaze me. Wow!
ReplyDeleteStunning! For years I also have wanted to do some sort of mosaic circle in my garden. This is another inspirational image that will surely nudge me toward making my dream a reality.
