On the Coast

I really like this house on the Coast of England not far from London. The outdoor spaces are very natural looking. images from British house & garden, photography by Rory Carnegie.

More Carmel Gardens

This garden in Carmel is stunning. The roses are in full bloom now and the way the plantings are organized, it's like a painting. We've had extremely hot weather as of late, the fog rolled in this morning and has cooled things off, but remember to hand water your plants even if you have an irrigation system when it's extra hot. Happy gardening.

Domino in Rhode Island

I like the the style of this DIY rolling sand box for kids. The outdoor dining is fun too. Domino mag. photography by Melanie Acevedo.

Vacation

The girls are out of school now, so we'll be enjoying Carmel a bit. I'll be back with new photos of French gardens soon. In the meantime I'll try to capture the gardens here. As always, thanks for reading.

Garden lights

Country living has a few nice articles on gardens this month. I love the way the lanterns look along the paths in the second photo, and candles always add a lovely ambiance. I hope you enjoy.

Weekend Get Aways

Love these out door rooms from Cote Maison of get aways on the West coast of France. Have a great weekend and thanks for reading. Photos taken by Henri del Olmo and Christine Fleurent.

Initial Gardens

I once designed a garden for a client and we used his initial as the main theme for his garden. It was quite beautiful to look down upon from his balcony. Here's an example of a garden with that same theme. I think I found this image in Real Simple mag., if you've seen it somewhere else, please correct me. I've had difficultly posting images due to typepad's new format. Thanks for being patient and happy gardening.
