An Artist’s Garden

Art and plants mixing perfectly

Today ’s photograph are from Dede Lifgren .

receive to my garden in Brewster , New York ( Zone 6a ) . I am an artist and garden lover . Much of my nontextual matter mall around my garden . Or is it the other room around ? Either manner , I love to take full advantage of both !

My pineapple columns and some potted impatiens(Impatienswalleriana , Zones 10–11 or as an annual ) recognise visitors at the entryway .

In the main garden , trickling water can be heard from the spring as you enter the property . A cypress(Chamaecyparispisifera‘Filifera Aurea ’ , Zones 4–8 ) tugboat over pitcher flora carving circumvent byhostas , iris , fern , ornamental grass , canna , and a banana tree in the rump . ( Thetropical plantsare winter inside . )

The outflow gathers lots ofmoss , which is secure cover for the many batrachian who garner there .

The paseo to the back of the business firm is shaded by trumpet vine(Campsisradicans , Zones 4–9 ) growing up the house and over thearbor . All the walkway are made from concrete , handwriting formed like mud pies .

Along the way , art invites you to stop . Here , poppies made from atomic number 13 commode sit with some hostas and fern .

Some big cactus carving keep literal ones troupe . ( The two on the left are real . )

Thispond , dug out by hand , is home to goldfish and frogs and lots of lily domiciliation . A pump keeps it oxygenated by recirculating water system down the stream .

A walkway goes around the pond through a moongate ( made from rebar and welded wire fencing ) to the back garden .

A longshaded gardenborders the margin of the yard with many potpourri of hostas , ferns , some creeping Jenny(Lysimachianummularia , Zones 3–9 ) , and iris(Iris sibiricahybrid , Zones 3–8 ) . Pitcher - plant carving poke through .

This garden patch was establish last year after a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree was bungle over in a violent storm . A potted foxtail fern(Asparagusdensiflorus , Zones 8–10 or as an one-year orhouseplant ) tops the column . take note that two inscrutable flower capitulum are obliterate within the foliation . The tall pinkish ones in the iris leaves are made from toilet brush . The humble magenta one at center right wing are made from crapulence drinking straw brushes !
