Welcome to our garden!
Today I am happy to be joining Brenda
at Cozy Little House for a Summer Cottage
Garden Party.
I decided to share some romantic places to
sit and relax in our summer garden today.
So come along and enjoy a little respite from
your busy day.
Sit in the shade of the umbrella andenjoy the beauty of the summer garden.
I love having benches to sit on
throughout the garden.
A summer garden tea.
The early august garden has the
most color here in our Zone 5b garden.
A small enclosed garden at the
south of our Gardener's Cottage.
Love old wicker chairs.
Martha's Garden is enclosed also and I
love when the 4 Deutizias are in bloom.
A vintage chaise can be easily moved around the
garden so you can pick your favorite spot.
The terrace is covered in Virginia Creeper to
give us a shady spot for lunch.
Another shot of Martha's Garden in spring.
A hidden spot and pretty when the fireweed blooms.
Tour the garden before you find the bench.
The Snow Pavement rose makes a pretty
background and fragrant as well!
A romantic tea in the garden.
How about breakfast here?
An old iron crib makes a romantic
garden seat by the roses.
And if I ever want to sleep outdoorsI have the perfect romantic spot to end
the day!

enjoying all the other garden participants

Have a wonderful day!

Carolyn, your gardens are such a delight. You have so many cozy places to sit and enjoy the spectacular views. I especially love your photos catching the light for the romantic tea setting and the terrace with the Virginia creeper. I can certainly appreciate all the work that must never end in your gardens. Thank you for the tour today.

Your gardens are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering what area of the country you are in because of all the lush greenery. In drought ridden California, I am limited in my watering and can only dream of the day when my garden is filled with such beauty.
Just beautiful! I love the separate "rooms". You have such a knack for making your gardens so enchanting!
ReplyDeleteYour yard is just gorgeous !!!! Can I live there ?
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful gardens are an inspiration. Such a wonderful place on the planet. The plantings are spectacular, and your personal touches make for all the romance!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is like something out of a dream. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh.my.goodness! I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful garden than yours... really! And... I will be sending you an email because... we may be "kindred spirits" in more ways than one (smile)... I am absolutely in love with the special garden you have created, it really is one of a kind. SOO very glad I've found your blog :)

You have created true bliss.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you show all these chaises, beds and benches...no WAY you use them with garden upkeep demanding so much of you! I bet you never ever rest, Carolyn. Not until the leaves are all fallen! Hugs!
I think I want to move in with you to lie on that chaise, ok with you?
Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI have followed you for many years now! Each time I visit I always think this is the prettiest post yet and then of course your publish another one and I feel the same way all over again! I enjoyed seeing your sitting areas and how you incorporated creative and nostalgic sitting areas to each space. Indeed a romantic journey.
