Back to Skeeter's garden today. How cute are these ducks? They have a history. On one of Skeeter's visits to Clarksville we visited Miss Lucille's and Skeeter found the ducks. Good thing she bought them or they might be in my garden.
This long view down to the woods was so inviting. The grass was perfectly maintained and the paths made it easy to get around. I loved this aspect of the garden! Not knowing where the path leads also adds a little mystery to the trip.
This shots points toward the patio area and storage shed. Loved that coleus tucked in the garden. It made a great focal point.
A further view of the same garden shows how the entire area comes together. There is a stone path to the patio area and storage shed.
Skeeter's gardens are very diverse and contain a lot of plants and flowers. The different textures under foot really set them off well.
This view here has to be one of my favorites. The textures of the angel trumpet, bald cypress, grasses, and plants all join to form a pleasing sight. The swing tucked up into one of the gardens is perfectly sighted.
Thanks for having me Skeeter and I loved your gardens. I am finally glad I was able to see them in all their glory. I must make plans to come visit in the spring as I bet they are totally different. You are quite the gardener! So glad you blog with me....
in the garden....
I agree about the mystery of where the path leads....
ReplyDeleteI like where the two white chairs & fire pit are located. A nice view from there, I'd think....
Thanks for the overview :)
Very nice! Meandering paths, long views, inviting places to sit and enjoy all of the beauty and whimsy that make up Skeeter's lovely gardens.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for sharing ~ FlowerLady
It is interesting seeing my gardens thorough your eyes Tina! And here I did not think I had much texture going on within my gardens. Ha, you show me differently. I loved how beautiful the Coleus were this year. Only wish I had gotten more as they do pop with color this time of year when little color in the garden otherwise. That Angel Trumpet is in full bloom right now! Wish you could see it as it is awesome and fills the air with a wonderful scent...
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome in my gardens any time and yes Spring and early Summer are really the best time to see color in my gardens. Especially when all the lily are in bloom....
I sure have enjoyed both the blogs of your garden. They are awesome.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful landscape and gardens. I really enjoyed the pictures....:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous garden ! Great place to relax !
ReplyDeleteI love that last view too...what a beautiful green growing spot...full of whimsy and peace.
ReplyDeleteNice views indeed. Thanks for sharing more of Skeeter's garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour of Skeeter's paradise...still so lush and colorful!
ReplyDeleteWill you have to overwinter the trumpet plant?
My coleus are still hangin in there, too!
