Beth has exquisite taste in plants and garden art. Since you probably know I am not a fan of most garden art, that's a huge compliment.
Acorns on her cut-leaf emperor oak! Quercus dentata 'Pinnatifida'
Cornus sanguinea 'compressa'
Just one of many photogenic vignettes...
You knew there were going to be agaves, right?
And opuntia, of course...
Those large rocks are actually big chunks of glass.
More rusty stuff...
This entire section is new since I last visited. Oh and since I was there in August (think hot and dry), the sprinkler was hooked up.
Semperivium and Graptoveria (I think).
Those geese are just as impressed with her Symphytum × uplandicum 'Axminster Gold' as I was.
And the Salvia argentea was pretty fab too...
I think this may be that crazy acer I saw in Richard Hartlage's garden; Acer palmatum 'Peve Starfish'
And this! The ornamental peach I adore...
But now it's time to appreciate Beth's container collection, par excellence...
I mean really! Look at this...
So many gorgeous combinations of plants and containers...
And here's where they all go in the wintertime...
Okay, sadly it's time to take our leave.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit again soon, and wander the entire garden...

I really enjoyed the look at her container collection. Not just the interesting containers, but also the cool succulents in plain terra cotta. I've managed to amass quite a few now too, but hers are inspiring.
ReplyDelete2021?!?! ...sigh.
ReplyDeleteSymphytum 'Axminster Gold' is stunning, and the massive pot collection reminds me of Peter's "danger gardenette" (another sigh).
OMG, you could spend an entire day just looking at the plants in containers!
ReplyDeleteJust what I needed on a dreary overcast day! Thank you!
Wow, those containers were fabulous and this from a woman who is not a fan of containers!
ReplyDeleteWonderful space, and her container garden is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAm not a lover of garden art either but Beth has an extraordinary collection. The rusty metal agaves are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI agree that she does a great job with the garden art - it fits its setting without eclipsing the garden it's meant to complement. Surprising myself, that headless statue really impressed me.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's wonderful - and I mean all of it! I love those rusty spiky plants. Need some of those, I think. If it's the only way to get that texture of that size in my shady paradise, I'll take it! That headless beauty is pretty cool, too.
