Gardens give such pleasure.
This is a tiny one, just the rear garden on a .15 of an acre property, and yet the owner has created his own tranquil and private world, done with layers of plantings.
Easy care is not a phrase associated with gardens, but this one is pretty close to 'turn key'.
When I see this kind of beauty, it makes me realize that a true gardener is really like a painter...instead of capturing a scene with water colours or acrylics or oils, he/she is creating the living version of a painting of Nature.
Perspective is a part of garden design, too, and choosing of colours, textures, it's all a seeking after a "look", a statement about the natural world.
I love going through gardens, though I am not the green thumb person....just like an artist showing in a gallery, though, a gardener needs me, too. I'm the audience, the other side of the creative presentation.
This seaside garden always has something to offer, even in the "off season".
How may I help you to discover special Salt Spring Island & the Southern Gulf Islands? Call me!
