Often a feature of the Mediterranean Garden, this trill has Pierre de ronsard roses growing along the sides.

This photograph captures the vivid colors and detailed petals of a pink lily in bloom, ideal for floral and botanical-themed blogs and websites.

A garden created by Dutch designer Piet Oudolf was planted on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany) in May 2020.

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.

Salvia 'Anthony Parker' is a reliable performer in our garden from April for a couple of months. Cut to the ground in August provides bundles of potential purple punch! Every stick will grow in the toughest of conditions.

I'm a great lover of Japanese gardens and their design. Ginkaku-ji is known for its 'dry' gravel gardens. Here the regimented lines of man-made, perfectly raked gravel contrasts with the comparative chaos of the knarled pine branch and explosions of needles.

A one acre garden created by the Spencer family between 1951 and 1994, now owned and cared for by the charity Perennial. The garden is divided into rooms by yew and beech hedges.

 

York Gate is widely recognized as an outstanding example of 20th century garden design. The one acre garden is divided into a series of smaller gardens with different themes and in contrasting styles. These include the Dell with half-hidden pathways and a stream, the famous herb garden with topiary and summerhouse, and a newer more contemporary garden with grasses and summer-flowering perennials. Other highlights include the White Garden with roses, peonies and campanulas and a Kitchen Garden. York Gate is also noted for its striking architectural features and a succession of exquisite vistas.

  

The garden was created by the Spencer family between 1951 and 1994. Frederick Spencer laid down the basic structure of the garden but it was his son, Robin, who was largely responsible for its development and for the exquisite detail to be found within it. Undoubtedly inspired by some of the outstanding gardens of the time, such as Lawrence Johnston's Hidcote, Robin created in just one acre, a garden which by the early eighties, was regarded by many as one of the most innovative small gardens in the world. His extraordinary vision, remarkable sense of perspective, inspirational use of materials and meticulous attention to detail were key to its success.

 

Robin died suddenly and prematurely at the age of only 47. For the next twelve years his mother, Sybil, cherished the garden. She added to the already considerable plant collection but the overall layout remained largely unchanged.

 

On Sybil Spencer's death in 1994 the garden passed into the care of the charity Perennial - Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society.

  

My inspiration comes from the mobiles and stabiles of Alexander Calder. You might call my poolside container garden "Calderscape".

Maybe my landscaping ideas are finally coming to fruition...

or probably it's just Nature reclaiming it's own :) IG

Love the retro feel to this courtyard. Makes a really good entertaining area. Looks great at night. Found it at Secret Gardens of Sydney - Courtyards

One guess is that this feature has been contrived to offer cooler (deeper water) and some shelter from the sun for the Koi under the flat stones in the centre - the water is pretty shallow otherwise.
