Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
.
I'm such a Landscape Design nerd I have Sir Roy Strong on my Google Alerts!! Sir Roy Strong has written many books, including a few landscape books. Hope you have them on your shelves.
His garden, below, The Laskett.
Puppet Barbuda cannot abide round tables for terrace/patio/deck.
Love the (FANTASY) world I've created within a cluster home subdivision. Living in the world but not of the world. (Note: western sun baked this area & winter's wind slammed into it. Not anymore. Tea olives/cleyeras stop the cold winds & crape myrtles shade me, dropping foliage for winter's sun to warm me & host song birds all year to sing & entertain me. Yes, Poppets, the workings of the universe/nature were created solely for my amusement. Lawn, above, belongs to my neighbor.)
Near Virginia Highland, above. Trees, wall, car have been exactly like this since I moved to Atlanta in 1982. Ooooooh, the mystery of that garden.
Cinder blocks with 2" x 6" boards were typical. Pure, undiluted salvage also. Too stark? Stain your bleachers a faded green ,or some such color, from Benjamin Moore or Farrow & Ball.
too horizontal. Accentuating the many horizontal lines of her home. Contrast was needed. (Of course it didn't hurt that I've studied in Scotland, seeing master templates for dry stone work.)
Fergus Garrett, above, continues, as planned, Great Dixter's garden, now open to the public.
Succession plantings are the style at Great Dixter. Something new always coming into bloom. Mulch is not needed the plantings are so layered & thick.
Each of Great Dixer's garden rooms is pure opera. But that's too easy. The opera changes daily. Hourly.
You'll be surprised how much FREE stuff you'll get.
Above & below, same line, 2 views, Double Axis.
Creating Double Axis, AND, the still life, below. David expands the world in each detail. 
We know it's beyond simple. It's MAGIC.
From his laptop, above, another axis & more than magic. Grace.
David, I really do laugh out loud, & learn, seeing your landscapes & gardens. You are ANAL about Vanishing Threshold, Axis, Double Axis. Providence smiles in simplicity & grace within your work. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Indian artifacts & antiques predating the Civil War, many inherited, fill the entire home.
are the neighbors, below.
From a front room view, below, see the brick chimney? It's where this antebellum home was 1st located. As family fortune increased they built a new antebellum home on the same site, moving this home to its current location.
Feet remain stationary, below,
& shooting a pic in the opposite direction.
Majority rustic antiques with hints of antique crystal & silver, yes, I knew I had to see the rest of this house & garden. More importantly, to know the person behind the magic.
