Awesome Beauty & Deer Proof

 Andrea Filippone, designs gardens & sells antiques.  Her garden, below, proof of prodigious talent.
More, her garden has a herd of 40-50 deer daily.  Boxwood are her solution, along with "allium, nepeta, Solomon's seal, jack-in-the-pulpit & hellebore."
.
The New York Times had a lovely, rich article about her last May.  They have a slide show of pics with it too.
.
You won't be disappointed.  This article & pics have stuck in my mind/heart since it was published.

Garden & Be Well,           XO Tara

    As usual, that is one nice example that shows tough simplicity w/ classic lines.

    I'm always up for a bit of garden slideshow escapism ... and I'm now off to see what the link has to offer.

    What an exquisitely layered composition- beginning with the stately mullions.

    So love the photo with this post...whilst sitting at my desk eating my lunch, I imagined I was sitting in that room looking at that wonderful view! from Jenny (Australia)
