Powell Gardens…Rabitty on the Way to the Chapel

Rabbity on the Way to the Chapel

Great Gardens This is taken at Powell Gardens in Kansas City.  The garden has a well-known chapel that is perched on the edge of a small lake.  The chapel is designed by architect E. Fay Jones, the best-known disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright.  This building certainly lives up to the reputation of Prairie Style, principles of organic design and having a timeless quality. There are many gardens at Powell, and the route to the chapel had these funny furry friends along the way.

Kansas City Gardens - The Serene Garden - Kauffman Memorial Gardens

I so enjoyed seeing the gardens in Kansas City.  I had thought it would be a colder zone than here, but that turned out to be incorrect.  They are in zone 7 - with Crape Myrtles, Seven Sons Tree, lots of Redbuds and Dogwoods.  However, they do have dry, hot and windy summers, so the leaves are smaller and the trees a bit sturdier of the trunk for the height.  My favourite garden is the Kauffman Memorial Garden, a beautiful example of the Serene Garden.  Many people want their garden to be serene, so Kauffman is a model to examine and learn from.  Here are a few scenes.
