DOUBLE AXIS

DOUBLE AXIS: One line with a focal point at each end. I coined double axis studying in Europe. Noticing landscapes had focal points facing focal points.

Below, view of the conservatory from the upper garden. The path is the 'axis'.


View of the upper garden from the conservatory, below. The same path is the axis.
Ship Men travel the world with their business. I constantly edit their landscape, above, acquisitions. They constantly share new ideas. We teach each other.

Focal points rotate on/off view.

Their landscape is low maintenance. Ship Man 'D', with joy, does most of the gardening.

Beautiful by Design, is about double axis.

    These are the kinds of gardens I drool over; the 'cottage' style, with the path and the arbor. Lovely!

    The "ship men” do enjoy the garden almost daily when in Atlanta. The conservatory was 10 years in the making. It started out flat and gray literally and over the years it was enlarged, Venetian stucco added, roof raised, cupola added, copper trim added, and bay window with copper roof added and now 13 wonderful chandeliers from across the world. Maybe Tara will share some progress photos. A garden is not created overnight rather over time. You have to live in the space to see what will work.
    Gardening is way cheaper than therapy,
