In any activity there are rules, and there are freedoms. In a garden, the rules are largely scientific. The freedoms - well, in truth, anything goes! This was my overall impression at the opening reception of the 6th annual Garden Bloggers Fling in late June! Garden designer, Shirley Watts, has a small eclectic garden, filled with fun surprises. It is a uniquely personal space, meant to be enjoyed. I took some pictures that I show here, but after you look, go to her professional link at the bottom.

Gabion wall filled with mussels and tillandsia (air plants).
A charming walkway with carriage lanterns
Vertical metal accents
This arbor was a popular place for meeting up with old friends!
(Notice the liberal use of the carriage lights thruout the garden.)
Thanks to Shirley for sharing her lovely garden with us!
