A garden created by Dutch designer Piet Oudolf was planted on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany) in May 2020.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
This arcade provides the entrance to the Spanish Garden. The east terrace of the Villa stands above the arcade.
I got a chance to discuss this garden with the designer. He found an old silo and worked it into this garden of many environments. It's a case planning ahead for when global warming makes England seem more like Araiazona.
The moon gate is an ancient Chinese landscape element that acts as a portal between gardens as well as between inside and outside. The shape of these gates, a circle rising up out of the land, has many meanings.
One interpretation of the moon gate is that it is complete, representing and celebrating the cohesiveness of the family. This complete circle provides entry to a pathway for the family members to return home to celebrate one another.
Another interpretation is that the moon gate, as it lifts itself out of the landscape, is symbolic of birth and renewal. The birth of a new moon becomes the way in which time is marked and the new comes about.
Yet another interpretation is that the moon gate is, like the moon, a connection to other planets and other worlds. The moon gate, traditionally designed as an opening in a wall, connects garden to garden, inside to outside, public to private.
A vivid orange tulip found its way into the carpet of white tulips, which themselves had wonderful crinkled edges to the petals. Keukenhof Gardens, The Netherlands.
The dappled sunlight through the fronds of tree ferns is beautiful and the plants create a real prehistoric feel to a garden. Taken at The Newt in Somerset, UK
I took a few picture of Ana Sanchez Maritn's garden in London last May, when it was open for charity. And now it will be shown in Alan Titchmarsh's new series of 'Love your Garden' on July 22nd on ITV at 8pm. Her design was chosen to show how to design a narrow, long city garden. Welcome all with access to British TV :)

A pic that could have been a whole lot better if not so overexposed & WB was right. Sedum finally colour co-ordinated with Autumn tones of the distant ornamental grape. Really struggle with the lolly-pink these plants dish up for a good month over late Feb-early March but their form offers so much to this space for so long, I can forgive such extrovert behaviour.

Sadly restoration work had most of the hydraulic systems turned off.

Looking past Intro Garden plantings on the Admin Building's East Terrace down the metal screen toward the National Bonsai and Penching Museum,
This was my favorite show garden at the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show. The designers of each show garden are present to talk to the public and it was this designer, Jonathan Snow, that I talked with the longest.
He found many South American wildflowers put in two waterfalls and a red path through a temperate South America. Here the RHS link to The Trailfinders ‘Undiscovered Latin America’ Garden.
This wonderful garden speaks for itself.
Thanks for your comments and faves.
