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.
