I have driven hundreds of miles to look at gardens, touring everything from the stunningly impressive Birmingham Botanical Gardens...
This picture was taken at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, from the belvedere looking into the Hill Garden
To a tiny jewel of a city garden in downtown Tuscaloosa...
This garden should be named "Little Alters Everywhere." It was an artistic blending of plants, hardscapes, and knick-knacks...a labour of love.
Then drove from Tuscaloosa to Atlanta to work a convention of a respectable and awe inspiring organization, where I spent the next three days in the basement of a high rise hotel, looking at floral carpet...
When there are no windows, floral carpet can be the next best thing to a garden.
I worked 45 hours in three days and was absolutely exhausted when I came home to the best kind of flowers...
Flowers on my library table!
I crashed for 10 hours and awoke fevered and dizzy. Apparently bacteria is flowering inside of me. The doc prescribed Biaxin and rest.
Look for a real post addressing view, axis, scope, and other important elements of garden design. Seriously, I took plenty of notes on the tour.
Ciao!
