Lower garden 25 May 08.jpg

such vibrant colours

We made two streams - one has two bridges because it's 54 foot long. We paint all the wood in the garden this same dark brown. The red ornaments are more visible in the winter. The eye seems to need things to focus on, that's why we have an underlying structure of conifers and everygreen shrubs. It's a little like flower arranging - you need the foliage as well as the flowers!
