WICKEDLY WONDERFUL

At the front of her property as she drives in, below, a lovely new stone plinth. As she walks from the back of her property, below, to the front; the same lovely new stone plinth.
One focal point placed on DOUBLE AXIS. Discovered this landscape design trick at Mount Stewart while studying in Ireland.


Perfection, an urn so fabulous it can be planted, OR NOT. Discovered this landscape design trick while studying landscapes in Scotland.

Realized studying landscapes across Europe: The more directions a focal point has the better a focal point is.
.
Wickedly wonderful. And EASY.

    You make good points Tara.

    I've seen many a planting detract from the really much more interesting urn.

    Tara,

    You are so clever. Your ideas are so simple and effective. I'm Irish and I want to study in Ireland! You are so lucky to have studied in so many beautiful places.
