Gertrude Jekyll, Englishwoman & world's 1st landscape designer, said, When I design a landscape the first thing I consider is what to put on the house. Fascinating. College degree, uncountable lectures attended and not one person ever, ever, mentioned what to put on a house. I design with vines and espaliered woody shrubs on homes.
You can vaguely see the wires on the house, below. Vines with outward growth add a dimension of lushness & softness.
Hi Tara,
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog :) This is great job you are doing here.
I love, that you mention about putting ivies on the house - I fully agree with you and I am surprised that - as you say - nobody is teaching about it.
I want to place wisteria on the house, horisontally, but still hesitate what to use as support.
Any hints?
Greetings!
You fly to my blogroll, if you don't have anything against!
