I forgot about that stream, or rather I guess I forgot exactly where in the garden that combination was. I tried to get a good shot of the stream but none of them turned out decent! As for the pile of "things," I thought it was quite inspiring.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-23590930510497505882022-08-02T10:54:45.387-07:002022-08-02T10:54:45.387-07:00Wonderful to have you visit, Loree!

The lawn is reinforced with a hidden plastic grid.<br /><br />The Podophyllum 'Red Panda' has received lots of comments this season. It has spread dramatically in the last couple years and is getting more attention than ever. <br /><br />The combination of Rodgersia and Impatiens omeiana is still looking fabulous! They are planted alongside a shaded stream where they receive plenty of water. <br /><br />Thanks for the motivation to finally clean up the pile of "things!" I really wish there was a better story other than laziness on my part :)<br /><br />Hope to see you again!<br /><br />Justin<br /><br />Justin Hendersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-3713909386766962192022-08-02T09:42:33.624-07:002022-08-02T09:42:33.624-07:00And it's such a gorgeous plant!And it's such a gorgeous plant!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-25510977180659823322022-08-02T09:42:14.541-07:002022-08-02T09:42:14.541-07:00Puget Sound Fling?Puget Sound Fling?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-80500091556446958102022-08-02T09:41:58.718-07:002022-08-02T09:41:58.718-07:00My 'Red Panda' has sent out a few runners,...My 'Red Panda' has sent out a few runners, nothing like this though!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-70736705045141925742022-08-02T09:41:27.859-07:002022-08-02T09:41:27.859-07:00It was overflow parking I believe, there was a reg...It was overflow parking I believe, there was a regular lot lower in the garden, but since it was my first time I didn't know!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-64012586246671223752022-08-02T09:40:50.976-07:002022-08-02T09:40:50.976-07:00Yes, this garden is definitely a good place to see...Yes, this garden is definitely a good place to see healthy happy trachycarpus!

I was flabbergasted by the extensive stretches of moss among other things. I admit I smiled at the garden's official description as a "pleasure garden" as that's a term I generally associate with centuries old English estate gardens, although my sense of that description in this case conformed closely to the definition provided by Wiki in your response to Gerhard.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-4797653644507866742022-08-01T09:36:54.302-07:002022-08-01T09:36:54.302-07:00Well, since you asked... "A pleasure garden t...Well, since you asked... "A pleasure garden today, insofar as the term is still used, usually means a park or garden that is open to the public for recreation and entertainment. Pleasure gardens differ from other public gardens by serving as venues for entertainment, variously featuring such attractions as concert halls, bandstands, amusement rides, zoos, and menageries. <br /><br />However, historically a "pleasure garden" or pleasure ground meant private flower gardens, shrub gardens or formal wooded areas such as bosquets, that were planted for enjoyment, with ornamental plants and neat paths for walking. These were distinguished from the areas in a large garden planted as lawns or a landscaped park, or the "useful" areas of the kitchen garden and woodland. Thus most modern gardens would have been called "pleasure gardens", especially in the 17th and 18th centuries."
