A View From Above

We often see the wonderful views from Armandii's garden on his walk throughs but I often think my garden is sometimes best seen from above, so here's how its looking today

The Veg Patch (or my mini allotment)


The Bottom Corner; play area/perennial corner


The Patio/Work area (my nursery )


The whole lot

 

It looks brilliant!! and yes, you can take in the whole picture better viewing it from above!!

Lovely pictures Bilbo, doesn't it look green? I'd have problems taking pictures like this as I'd have to climb onto the roof of my bungalow.

 

Looking good Bilbo.
It's true our gardens do look different when viewed from this angle, it gives a good overall perspective.
I think you've started something here, we could make this the 'my garden from the upstairs window thread'.
I'll see if I can get a couple of photos of my garden from 'above' tomorrow and post them here.

 

Marvellous Bilbo

 

A couple of quick shots taken from my upstairs window this evening.
We'd just had a heavy shower, so everything was a bit wet and the light wasn't great, but it still gives you an idea of what my patch looks like.

 

A lovely garden Trunky, I like the shape of your right hand border.

 

I love your garden Trunky; its looks very long and invites you to explore past the arch

There could definitely be life in a thread viewing members gardens from above, very interesting

 

Bilbo, I love how you have created zones so that each zone has a specific purpose

Trunky, you've achieved 'zones' too, but in a totally different way (that bench looks so inviting!) What tree is the 'yellow' looking one on the left before your arch, please?

 

What you see on the photos is only about half the back garden, through the arch lies a further plot, which is roughly a 20 yard square and about twice the width of the part you can see.
This part contains the vegetable plots, a mini wildflower meadow and the chicken run.
The arch itself supports a climbing rose, 'Paul's Scarlet' which draws the eye nicely when in full flower.

It's Acer Drumondii Mum, a lovely variegated maple which is at its best in spring, when the new leaves look fresh.

 

Thank you, Trunky! I'm going to put it on my "Wish List", it is rather beautiful and really caught my eye

 

Really lovely Trunky

Same here....would it be cheating if i stood on some ladders?

 

Lovely gardens Trunky and Bilbo I like the designated areas of Bilbos , and love the flowing line of the lawn in Trunkies . Good job both of you !
