SHIPMEN invited me to a picnic yesterday. Thought you would like a few street views of their landscape. Path & perennial border, below, led them to hire me. Years ago.
Don't you love this hint of entry, below, luring you further? SHIPMEN purchased their neighbor's backyard and extended their garden beyond the entry, above.
A few steps further, below, and you see their gate.
A few steps more, below, and you realize the entry is an ENFILADE.
Entering the gate, above, but before arriving at the 2nd gate, welcoming urns of geraniums. Notice the lattice walls, below, painted black. Perfect.
Sneaking thru their garden, because I could, and I knew you would want to peak into their conservatory, below. A hint of one FETISH.
SHIPMEN adore antique chandeliers. They're shipped home from across the globe.
SHIPMEN use their conservatory for dining & plant propagation. It's not for show.
Leaving thru the same gate, above. These were only street views. Tempted to see more?

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
