When we imagine gardens, our minds tend to go straight to the plants: those blossoms, colors, and leaves. Vegetation is at the heart of any landscape, after all. But let’s not overlook the invaluable role of non-plants – the practical, whimsical and eye-catching features that lend focus, definition and a stroke of extra beauty to our designs. It’s often those thoughtful touches that make our gardens memorable. You know, something people might talk about!
It's AMAZING that I was just talking about some of these concepts this week with a sculptor cousin and two neighbors!!! Andy Goldsworthy, my partner's copy of the Native Plant Trust log serpentine, and adding a stone bench to our property!!! I love your blog ... and the music you append! :)
Excellent. Cannot have too many Adirondack chairs.
