Sheep in the Lawn and the Wild West

Today it is sheep in the lawn.  This was a display in one of the gardens on the Grimsby Garden Tour in July.  The second display was at another house on the tour - I had no idea that we had The Wild West here in Grimsby.  This is a tool shed!

Grimsby Gardens

I have been enjoying the Grimsby Garden Tour gardens after the fact.  With my own garden on the tour on July 5th, I've been visiting the gardens in the weeks following the tour.

Here are two great examples.  This first garden is on Elderberry - you can see the escarpment views that are so pretty.

This next one is on Burgess with its pretty tool shed and pool house.

Grimsby Gardens

I wanted to share another beautiful Grimsby Garden that was on the July 5th Grimsby Garden Tour.  You can see that big views of this garden work wonderfully - the paths are gently curving, and the focal points of plants and structures seems perfect.  This is the garden of a jewellery artist - so often artists create the best garden compositions.  The other aspect of this garden is the pictures that are from a higher point of view - the property drops down so that it is possible to take the pictures from the house at the higher elevation, giving one the sweep of the garden all at once.  What a great canvas to work with and what great art has been created in this garden.

Lakeside Living

This house was on the Grimsby Garden Tour (July 5th 2014) and the Hamilton Garden Week…it is on Lakeside Drive in Grimsby.  Wouldn't that be a wonderful experience in the bunkie overlooking the lake at sunrise...
