So different and yet I love both. Two things really make this garden so special in my mind: the pale pistachio (?) color of the house and wall combined with the astonishingly beautiful, meandering dark oak trunks (growing through a porthole!).Everything else was the cherry on the proverbial cake.

The "porthole" in the wall identifies it for me. I don't recall seeing overhead views in Pam's posts on the garden and I appreciate your addition of those. Everything is beautiful and, as you noted, meticulously maintained, but I admit to shuddering at the mention of Asparagus ferns as I regard those I inherited with my garden a plague I'll never defeat. The foxtail variety is only nominally more manageable than the bushy version in my experience.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
