An Island Estate Garden
Our final Gig Harbor area garden took us to Fox Island. Puget Sound has many islands and this one is accessible by bridge. With the sun shining on Sunday afternoon, we loved views of the water and a change of scenery.

A shady hideaway in the front yard.
A side seating area.
A cool wooden bowl planter.
Dwarf conifer garden.
Views from the back terrace.
Lots of colorful foliage.
A blue bridge leads to the former horse pasture, now becoming an arboretum.
A dry stream bed, with fish.
And back across the bridge to end the tour.
I just came in from working in my own garden, which is looking pretty good too, I wish our Open Garden was this weekend instead of a month from now. June is the best!

ReplyDeleteAhh . . . I was just delighted by the dry stream with fish. Everything does look fresh and lush in your June touring.
ReplyDeleteI am a tree and foliage person so this was a real treat. Just loved that wooden bowl planter.
ReplyDeleteLoved that planter must be a burl that was hollowed out! Perfect! Nice gardens:)
