It ’s amazing how often garden come up in conversation in my everyday life , no matter where I am or who I talk to . A few months ago I was having problem with my handwriting , so I went to see a specialist in a nearby Ithiel Town . In the course of diagnosing me ( Carpal Tunnel Syndrome , by the way ) , my MD , Dr. Lionel Brown , asked me what I did for a living . Well , out came his iPhone with pictures of his wife ’s beautiful garden ! “ You should really see it in person , ” he tell . So , months afterwards , at a come after - up visit after my OR ( this cat is ripe – I’m totally back to normal after only a month ) , I gave him my placard , and the next day his wife , Margareta , called me up to call for me for a sojourn .
It ’s a beautiful garden , for certain , and I ’m sharing a few highlights today with Margareta ’s blessing . The first two are from a container pigeonholing by the pool . I especially jazz the two magnificent specimen of crown - of - thorns and the coolheaded face pot in the front .
The next few are of a roseate mandrel on the hillside , with the seating area scattered with fallen rosaceous flower petal . The ball-shaped alloy carving in the background was made by a family member , and I was entirely in love with it . The last photo is of a metal frog that was conversant to me . It was made by an creative person named Charles Smith down in South Carolina , and the garden I used to turn for had one . His frogs are just so happy , and they lighten the heart of every garden they adorn .
This garden was BIG , and for a while there I forgot to take photograph as I was delight it , else I would have show up you more . Cool affair is , other than some service with the mowing and heavy lifting , the Browns do all of the work themselves . And that ’s a LOT of workplace . I do n’t think I saw one green goddess while I was there … you may tell these people love what they ’ve created . Thanks so much for welcome me into your garden , Margareta . It was lovely !
