The compass garden is four points divided by openings to the four directions. All the edges are very softened or hidden by overhanging plants this year, less formal and planned than I usually try to do. The gate opens to the east. That big white achillea is being moved this year, just getting too big there.

I agree, Michaella...I love the rustic look of your whole garden, particularly your lovely gate. GT.

Thank you both so much. :-) I've slowly added a little each year, this year being the structure of the fence. I'm an avid recycler, thus that rustic look. All the wood has been reclaimed from other projects.
I'm so pleased you know what the east gate stands for Michaella! It has come a long way from just an archway last year. My neighbors daughter loves to go around and be let through the gate and then around again. She thinks it is the bet game. :-)

Thanks. :-) Its been hot with an afternoon rain now and then all year, and the garden has loved it. Much bigger stuff than I usually have, It's never looked so grown in. I am delighted Sandra. And the gateway is coming along, next year I'm adding a few climbing clematis so the fence can fill in.
Your welcome TOG. I've other pics that show the shape better but this was one I'd taken this year. Can't really see the edges. I put it in on the early pages of my pics, not hard to find some other shots. :-) Here's another in the spring this year before things grew.
