Just breathtaking...don't know what I like better, the fencing or the upside down containers on the fence.
Why are the pots hung on the fence?
nice photos
Susan, the big brown one is made of metal and that's traditional container for carrying milk, the gray/silver ones and small brown are ceramic and are multipurpose :)
Darla - nice to see you again here :)
growtosow - thank's for visiting
How wonderful! I like it.
Oh, Ewa! I love that fence, which someone lovingly made. Do you know what branches they used? I wish I wish I wish I would see more of that here. We do have extraordinary stone fences. I'll post one day and let you know! Thank you for this one. Charming!
Hello Ewa, I was just checking out your site on the 'All Gardening Site' and was wondering if you would be interested in swapping links with my own site www.gardenofeaden.blogspot.com ? I look forward to hearing form you. Kind regards, Simon
Just gorgeous !! I wonder if the plants are not the same as the ones growing in what we call in France "jardins de curé" (priests' gardens).
Kathryn, unfortunately I don't know what are the branches used for the fence - I may guess it's willow, cos this is most popular here material for baskets, fencing panels etc.
Xoxo
I love cottage gardens and this one is fantastic. I have a small book called Brilliant Gardens, a celebration of English gardening by Candida Lycett Green, it is all about cottage gardens. Is there something similar available from your area, country? Cheers T.
Pretty flowers! Seems your garden was so healthy. Wish I can have a healthy garden too. I'm been looking for interesting topic as this. Looking forward for your next post. Keep posting!
