Landscape walls can be the side of your home, above, or all plantings, below. (Wall, below, is mine & hides the neighborhood from my tender sensibilities. What me not living in the Cotswolds?)
Espaliered woody shrubs & vines dramatize the walls of a home, fence, dependency & etc., below. (My Bay Terrace, below.)
Using wit, below, Susanne Hudson swags a window. Pow, Shazam, baby.
With more wit, intellect, & drama she created a garden room, raised on a dais (aka deck, but dais is ever so much nicer, yes?),
with old church windows.
Landscape Design: create walls..

Slow down, peruse again, Landscape Design IS this easy. Look at the 2nd pic again. Notice how much sky I own because of my walls? You would CRINGE knowing how many houses along the ubiquitous subdivision cul-de-sac lane (aka street) my garden obliterates in that 2nd pic. Who knew? Gardens are offense & defense. A moat of grace around home & life.

I love those old church windows in the garden!
Susanne should be selling replicas of those church windows next year. XO T
The church windows outside are amazing - a polite screen / spatial definition!
Many architects (not the desert-phobes, but the good ones) get the architecture of plants more than most of our local "plant-people" get it. I am fortunate to have the former as allies!
this is a certain fairytale universe you are living in.
so pretty!!

Oh yes! A moat!
