They were custom ordered, not from a farmers market. I’m wondering if you are able to update your blog to give appropriate credit? I am about 1/2 mile from The Brindley’s and Windcliff. As a working artist, my pieces are available at local galleries, botiques and online at fernstreetpottery.com Thank you!

There were a few things I didn't get to even look at (a naturalistic area to the left as you walked down the drive, for example) as my travel partners were ready to go. Thank you for addressing the lawn issue I spoke of, but it's not just a rural thing. I see it in beautiful gardens around the city too.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-61344696949652496792018-09-08T11:01:33.702-07:002018-09-08T11:01:33.702-07:00Glad you're enjoying it!

As for the lawn, us rural gardeners do become somewhat inured to it as an inevitable part of the landscape. I can usually ignore it here, but I would gladly get rid of it all in favor of expanded gardening areas and areas left as sort of guided natural areas, where weeds are managed and natives are encouraged, maybe with just a handful of self-sufficient exotics. Septic drain fields are a challenge, as they have to be left open, free of trees and large shrubs, but I would turn that area into a sedge lawn/meadow. I can't do any of that here. Next garden.

Maybe any "empty space" back there would be just as good... "Here's a view of the desert wasteland" probably wouldn't have the same effect.

I never even saw that glamping area, how cool! I'm glad you enjoyed the Brindley garden despite the rain, it's one of my favorites. I think this might be their first year with Cousin Itt. I asked whether it would go into the greenhouse, cause it probably wasn't hardy, and he just shrugged and said "we'll see." I think his wife is more the gardener than he is, she might have had a more definitive answer. She was lying down indoors that day with a back injury.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
