I haven't posted in this group in a while. Just took a few pictures of the perrenial gardens at my place yesterday and thought I would share a few.
This view is looking toward the house from near the street.
Looking at the house and gardens from the South.
Looking at gardens from the East side.
Just recently finished building this office/studio for my wife. These gardens, along with the firepit and stone walkway are brand new; not quite so jungle like yet.
This view is from the North, looking back toward the new gardens along the edge of our little woodland.
Looking into the little woodland.
Some of the vegetation at the North end of the pond. The large leaves in the foreground are Gunnera and the white blooms are my favorite Viburnam.
I like the Viburnam so much I thought I'd add a better shot of it.
Quick shot of one of our cherry trees. Looks like we're going to get a good crop again this year.
The pond from the Southwest corner.
Okay. That was the last picture in this series. I hope I haven't bored you. We call our little 1.3 acre property Paradise. Every time we leave we can't wait to get back. We've owned this property for 11 years. When we bought it there were a few big old trees, a very funky old farmhouse (marginal but with good bones) and no gardens. During the time we've owned it we've completely rebuilt the house (lucky that I spent three decades as a builder), dug the large pond, added a green house, developed a 6000 square foot vegetable garden and developed large amounts of perrenial borders and woodlands. Oh yes, I also built the studio/office for my wife.
Thanks for looking.
So Carl, you can tell Ceil that the towel is actually the same color as the french doors to the right.
