Gig Harbor Garden Tour 3: The Knapp Garden
Paint your house a bright color and then plant your garden to match it.
Galvanized watering troughs are painted to match the color palette and are used for growing flowers and vegetables.
Arts and craft vendors blended into the colorful setting.
Textures on the court yard gate include bug hotels.
The gate is an artful creation of tools.
The courtyard contains a lovely pond
a colorful seating area,
and plants to add texture and color.
Around the side of the house and to the back, there are more planted tubs.
Along the other side of the house is another water feature.
The passageway back to the front is a lovely mix of foliage plants.
As we return to the front we can peek over the curved wall of the entry court.
As the guide book says, "The touch of the artist is definitely on view in this colorful garden".

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden love the colors:)
ReplyDeleteAll colors have to be worked in to look their best. That's hard to do when the end product is so far away.
ReplyDeleteInteresting garden also the fence and gate!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy garden!
ReplyDeletelovely, like the bug hotels and the creative garden tool gate
ReplyDeleteReally loved the colorful house that set off the lovely plants. The good thing with a house that color is that if nothing is blooming, it is still a cheery look.
ReplyDeleteThe house is the perfect foil for the plantings around it. A lot going on there.
ReplyDeleteSmall and sweet!
