It has a relaxed feel (once you get past the hedge) and you can tell it's the garden of a plant geek, absolutely packed with treasures that she's acquired over the years. It doesn't have the "designed" look of the last garden you showed us, but you can tell that every placement and change has been intentional and full of love and care. Beauty in chaos. Thanks for sharing the tour with us!Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-34395762841798567192014-05-21T22:18:09.697-07:002014-05-21T22:18:09.697-07:00Wonderful indeed to garden for that long!Wonderful indeed to garden for that long!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-89774890700109604112014-05-21T22:16:51.945-07:002014-05-21T22:16:51.945-07:00It is a wonderful garden and I've been learnin...It is a wonderful garden and I've been learning many cool things about Mrs. Duryee lately.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-936714386485003202014-05-21T19:11:43.517-07:002014-05-21T19:11:43.517-07:00That garden is so charming.
