The Garden of Sean Hogan

What a great garden. Back is great with the relaxed jungle setting. But love the front best (unsurprisingly)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat backyard dining area looks like tropical asia!! soo much character!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing garden! I love that shot looking up through the palm fronds.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely, reminds me of my garden, with the rock garden holding the succulents and courtyard with the "jungly garden" sharing many of the same plants.
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better than a garden visit followed by a glass of wine in such a lovely setting. I had to take a second look at the bamboo. For a moment I thought they were native spears!
ReplyDeleteIt's so true...you know when you walk by that someone who is REALLY into plants must own that house! I love how they made berms out of their parking strips...such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd aren't you glad to be one of the "truly lucky"? Wait: is it still luck if you have earned it?
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool post and the design I'm going for in our own gardens here. That is really incredible stuff. The bamboo is beautiful as are the palms and yuccas....wonderfully put together in random yet connecting patterns.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous garden! I've seen pictures before but yours showed even more great stuff. Thanks for sharing. The garden is a treasure and so are you!
ReplyDeleteSpiky O, yes true to your spiky character!
ReplyDeleteAnn, yes'm
Louis, good description.
Allison, actually I found myself walking around looking up a lot in this garden.
Nicole, still hoping to see pictures of your garden!
Lancashire rose, I knew they reminded me of something!
scott, yes you're right of course (about the berms), and I love them in a setting like this. The word just has such a "suburban lawn" sound to it. I've got to get over that!
ricki, either way yes I am!
Rohrerbot, well I'm glad to have posted these pictures to add a little more inspiration to your garden planning!
Peter, I wish more of my pictures would have "turned out" there was so much more magic to see! Scott needs to get in there with his fancy pants camera and fabulous photo-eye!
Lovely in that though it hosts desert plants and palms, the garden still manages to reflect the PNW.
ReplyDeleteMust have been a lovely place to talk plants.
