An artist's garden
« on: October 16, 2016, 04:25:57 PM »
I don't think there can be any doubt that the garden we visited today is an artist's garden. Part of it is being created as accommodation for guests and/or short-term holiday lets. I'm at a loss to describe the rather quirky style; an eclectic mix of fantastic, futuristic, oriental perhaps with a strong hint of Gaudi? What do you think?

I can't think of any better descriptive word than "fun"!

Fun? Yes! I guess the style could be called fantasy as well?

My ipad and my old computer are in sinc again hence the photos.  I spotted this garden which is situated a few meters away from my dentist' surgery and decided some of you might enjoy its colour. I could not locate the owner to ask for a tour of the back garden so i took three photos of the front and side.  Next week when I return to the dentist i will knock on the door and ask to exchange cuttings.
