EDWARDIAN SIMPLICITY

Does it get any simpler? A trough, window, vine, stone terrace, good pruning. Notice what's missing? There is no traditional American foundation planting. Joy !!!!

This winter garden melts my heart. Can you imagine what it will do in summer?
The best urns don't need planting. The old moss, even better.

This urn is a focal point on axis from several directions.
The best focal points, historically, are on multiple axis.
Maybe this one is on axis with the masterbedroom where mistress lies her pretty head. Should a garden begin elsewhere? Priorities darlings.
Stone and bricks in dirt, above. No mortar. Mistress could easily do this herself.
