Last week I mentioned Beth Winter and her propensity to collect. I first visited Beth's garden in July of 2015. I tour many gardens but Beth's stands out in my mind, it's not just her collecting of objects, but she's also got great taste in plants and knows how to put together a stunning vignette. I had the opportunity to visit Beth's garden again last summer, to interview her and take a few photos for my book. There's a full post coming up tomorrow, but today I'm sharing photos of the moss man...
I was worried he would have moved on since I last saw him—in 2015—after all 4 years is a log time to sit in one place.
Thankfully he's still there, still waiting for someone to join him. That's a sad face staring at an empty chair...

Can you photoshop-in a companion for this sad dude?
ReplyDeleteIf only I were that talented...
DeleteOnly in your climate could one get such a project to work so well. I have moss but it never gets so thick and cushy as that.
ReplyDeleteIt dries up in the summer but with the first fall rain it's lush all over again.
DeleteHe does seem a bit forlorn, looking over at that empty chair. When you posted last week, I went back to your previous post and remembered seeing him then. Cool that he's still there.
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled with Beth confirmed he was still hanging around.
DeletePerfect. Moss man is a hunk - what's his problem finding a companion?
ReplyDeleteI think it would help if he got up and around a little more.
DeleteCertainly eclectic. Rather startling if you were to come upon him unaware!
ReplyDeleteAs I did on my first visit there.
DeleteHe looks so comfortable. Why get up now?
ReplyDeleteGood point.
DeleteI'm following his line of sight. I think he's looking at that piece that can serve as a table and waiting for someone to deliver a vodka gimlet. After four years, he's thirsty!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of all moss - thin or puffy. I buy a pot every spring to kill.
Ah, I think you're on to something...
DeleteMaybe the 'houseboy' at Floramagoria will drop by some day...
ReplyDeleteHa! It could happen...
DeleteWhat a great vignette! I really do need to visit her garden, and after seeing this as well as the longer post, I realize one needs enough time to take it all in. It looks like a really, really fun and wonderful garden.
