A dedicated gardener

There's a garden similar to this a few miles from where I live and to be honest I think it's gaudy, sorry I don't like it at all.

Possibly Marigolds along the edge of the drive.

 

Sorry FC, I think it's a bit OTT too.

You're right though, they must be very dedicated.

 

Whilst it does look slightly (I mean very) OTT I would rather see it than many of the boring run of the mill gardens you find!

Did anybody see the begonia house on Gardeners World a few weeks back?

 

It is gaudy, and I wouldn't want mine to be like that (even if I had the skill!) but I still like it.
Partly because it's the work of a single-minded and determined individual, unswayed by the whims of current fashion. Also, because it's exuberant and completely over-the-top. I love the pink begonia square carpet. If that was a green carpet none of us would turn a hair, but because it's pink it shakes up all our expectations. No harm in that.

 

I like it, it looks well loved!!

I'm shocked that the hanging baskets on either side of the door don't match ...

... I'll get my coat !!

 

I think it is absolutely wonderful, so bright and cheerful! I like any garden that looks like someone has made a real effort, even if it's not what I'd do myself (and that isn't!). I'd love to live next door to them so I could enjoy it without all the hard work!

 

it is absolutely stunning! but not really my cup of tea tbh i do like to see a bit of 'green' in my garden lol it is beautiful to look at though & as LindsayH says i'd love to be the next door neighbour or to live across the road, i wouldn't mind admiring that view out the window

 

Would rather see that than some of the unloved gardens with old cars/junk in that people have around here

A nice lot of bedding but not vary imaginative. Looks as if there are are marigolds, petunias and fuchsias also. The baskets SHOULD be matching.

 

i know! what were they thinking!
