Rough Musings Dumping Ground

​

There is real magic to a walled garden.

 

I am drawn to wild, loose, non-uniformed, naturalistic planting, where plants are intermingled

in abundance, and work well together. 

​

Tall grasses add movement, charm and softness to a garden.

​

I am often moved by something that is dying over something that is not.

​

Seeing plants that are allowed to go to seed heads, gardens left to go to seed heads

create their own charm.

​

I am beguiled by Walled Gardens, Pleached Espalier Trees and Pleached Trees, Topiary, Espalier too.

​

It is such a privilege photographing gardens and being permitted access at the quietest times.
