Create Mystery

A path into my tiny back garden, below.


 A coop, conservatory, flagstone terraces & etc. are slipped with precision into their setting.


Who wants to see everything at once?  Discovery & delight are fundamentals of garden mystery.
.
Plants are allowed to be themselves.  Mostly.  Camellias, azaleas, hydrangeas, tea olive, roses, boxwood, itea, aucuba, akebia, daphne.  Something is blooming every day, all year.  Now, it's hydrangeas & crape myrtles.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

pics taken last week in my garden.  The entire lot is a mere 8500sq. ft.  Paths are integral to creating mystery in my garden.

    Plants know how to look their best; they tend to need minimal, if any pruning.

    Tara, I would love it if you would take some photos of your garden from a distance. I'd love to see what it looks like from across the street, down the cup-de-sac, etc. Thanks, Barry

    I agree. I also like that paths create not only mystery but the dip into shade and then into light once metaphors in the Italian garden, now simply a lovely change of pace.
