Returning to a Garden After Almost a Decade

Changes in a beautiful garden

Today we ’re visit Michael Follose ’s garden .

I send you ikon of my gardenalmost 10 years agoand would like to update you on our progress .

Since then , we laid an blanket brick paver patio that includes a big firepit with built - in seating area and lighting . This was a multiyear project . During this process , our entire backyard was bust up , and we had to re - landscape around the new hardscape . The plant have filled in nicely around the pool adjacent to our brickwork . I ’ve included an former evening shot of it .

One of these depiction shows a tears birch rod tree withhostasbelow it . I engraft that tree almost 45 years ago . We suffer it to disease and had it veer down this year . We ’re currently redoing this full area as a full - sun garden . Once we discharge this area , we ’ll send more pictures . ( We ’re dumb now — could be another 10 years ! )

I enjoy front at your Garden Photos of the Clarence Shepard Day Jr. while I sip my morning coffee .

look up at the house across the young brick terrace .

A salient body of water feature , made even more impressive by dramatic landscape painting light .

Thebirch tree , implant 45 years ago , and now recently cut down . One thing you could bet on in a garden is change ! While it ’s sad to lose such a beautiful tree diagram , it ’s exciting to envision the novel garden that can be created .

Spectacular yearly planters . Using huge masses of the same plants always create a spectacular affirmation .
