Landscape Trees In A Garden

What an impact landscape trees in a garden can make!

Once in awhile I come across a garden that really moves me. Oh, I know, you are probably thinking of lots of colorful perennials and flowers. It's true they can be striking. Another type of garden might be an overall great landscape with enchanting features such as a glorious waterfall, a beautiful pergola with vines, and so on.

So for a little different spin, I really enjoyed seeing this garden. I thought, "Is this a garden?" It looked more like a park. But upon corresponding with the owner, I found out that yes, it was indeed a garden.

Take a look at the beautiful colors and textures of these great trees...in Mike's garden...31 years in the making!

Rose Garden Display in England

I remember the first time I saw a rose garden display. I decided to visit the New York Botanical Garden to see their rose display at the right time...for once. I always seemed to miss it.

If you have never been there, it's an experience. First of all it's a sunken garden. As I approached it, I couldn't really see what was there since it was down below. All of a sudden it was upon me and it was breathtaking. So many roses, so many colors, so many fragrances!

This video of David Austin's roses in England brings back that memory. A great thanks to Gardens of a Golden Afternoon for finding this.
