Flying Buttress in the Landscape

At first meeting, enchanted.  Understood, "You're a flying buttress."
.
Frame your home, the garden, create rooms, mystery, with little effort.   Little input, big impact, what's not to like?
.
Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris has fly buttresses, shouldn't your home?
.  
Not a Garden Whisperer?  Don't see, below, a flying buttress?
.
It's the evergreen hedge, scalloped higher at its end.

Same flying buttress, below, inside view, vanishing threshold.

Another layer of interest, and function, below, in the garden.

Another 'ideal' to achieve, above,  See it without me mentioning it?
.
Garden only.  No 'stuff'.  Ubiquitous USA plastic hose carriage on wheels tethered to a faucet, blessedly absent.  Common USA resin sign, "Welcome", blessedly absent.  Fluttering nylon flag in garish colors "Seasons Greetings".....
.
Arcadia created.  And, lived.  No signs, flags, intentions.  Intellect engaged, action steps taken, lives well lived amongst chaos given to all.
.
Garden & Be Well,    XO Tara

This is a Voysey house.  Discovered Voysey by accident, researching an old hall tree I bought in the mid-80's.  It's a Voysey ! Second antique I ever purchased, go me!
