My friend's gardens are so large that I am going to share them with you over three weekends. Done single-handedly by one very determined fellow not only are they expansive he has some plants bigger than any I have ever seen before.
The beds are nicely raised at the back to allow for maximum visibility from the home's back porch.
Wide, mulch-covered paths guide you through gigantic annual Canna Lilies and posts covered in glorious Clematis.
Late August and no shortage of beautiful flowers.
Despite their size and vigour the beds are relatively new, only a few years old. This means my friend has been workign like a maniac to get it all done.
A man after my own heart.

Your friend has wonderful gardens, a treat to see out of season. I look forward to summer but not to heat, humidity and insects, which we tend to forget during the winter.
ReplyDeleteJean,
DeleteI am glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments.
Having the bed elevated toward the back to show off the flowers better is an interesting idea, I suppose the water would drain down toward the front too.
ReplyDeleteYes, it made a big difference and they are very hilled up towards the back, not just a wee bit. Very interesting design.
