Farther south, in Newcastle, we found a new garden - well, new to us, although like us, Mike and Sharon Glenn have been gardening here for over forty years.

Two More Gardens
We have visited the garden of Cleo and Peter Raulerson in Bellevue several times, but it's fun to stop back in for a brief look. There is always beauty here.
They live on a hill with an expansive view to the north and northwest.
This flock of flamingos enjoys the lush lawn.

A wonderful old cedar tree dominates the front yard.
Steps lead up from the house entry to the cedar tree lawn.
A cool recycled glass art idea.
What a wonderful clematis!
Entry gate to the back yard.
Shade and sun mix in this part of the garden reclaimed long ago from a wooded lot. Old stumps remain, and a magnificent old flowering cherry spreads a canopy overhead.
Brick lined grass paths lead every which way.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who are these masked invaders?
Interesting plant supports.
A sunny side yard border.
Talking to the gardener is part of the fun.
We are looking forward to more garden touring next weekend.

how fun, those clematis blooms are unreal, so much coolness and green is refreshing.
ReplyDeleteMore gorgeous gardens. I am glad that you are able to be out and doing at least one of the things you love to do.
ReplyDeleteLots of inspiration there. Both gardens are lovely and I especially liked the glass art tower!
ReplyDeleteThe pride in their work is so evident - both gardens are stunning. Thank you for sharing your photos!
ReplyDeleteI would have to do this tour several times. there's so much to see and take in.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Thank you for taking me along, and for your magnificent pictures. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am looking forward to seeing what all you see that you can share. Lovely gardens. I love seeing all the details you pictured.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous pandemic treat but actually a treat any time. Safe and beautiful plus all sorts of ideas. Liked that recycled piece.
ReplyDeleteI visited the Glenn garden last year, I think it was the first time they had opened with the NPA. It was so beautiful and peaceful, just like a park.
ReplyDeleteThat glass towers is wonderful! Such a pretty garden, thanks for the visit there!
ReplyDeleteBoth gardens are beautiful. That lavender clematis is the second garden is amazing. Never seen such huge blooms on a clematis. I like the mirror on the fence too and the cute couple.
ReplyDeleteOh good gracious! This is totally amazing. I've never seen clematis like that. The glass art is gorgeous. She must have learned how to do it from your blog. Nobody in Hawaii does glass art like that but I could see where it would really look beautiful in so many of the gardens here.
