The fences around the garden had giraffes carved in them
Some butterflies or moths enjoying the sunshine
Looking across. In the middle is a Sailing ship
Yew Rooster. I thought it looked more like a Rubber Ducky
Spot, the dog
I thought it looked more like a cat. There's a heart to his right.

Spot, again. Still looks like a cat to me
A peacock

How does your garden grow?
That was wonderful CJ! It DID look like a cat...lol Thank you! I just trimmed up my SunFlowers for the last time yesterday... They look pretty good and there are still some big buds on there... predicting rain for us today/tomorrow, fingers crossed ... if so some of those buds might open... after that once they start to look rough again i'm taking them down.. TIMBER!!! lol They have been so great this year... bringing in the bees, birds, butterflies... loved it.. Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the rain. We've had way too much. Hopefully, next Spring, I can plant the sunflower seeds you sent.
DeleteWhat a beautiful place! Fantastic presentation. Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt was a delightful place to walk around, I've never seen so many animal topiaries before.
Deletethecontemplativecat here. The only topiaries I have seen were at Disneyland. Your photos captured them well.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteTopiaries always kinda' freak me out.....😲
ReplyDeleteYou must have read Stephen King's "The Shining"
DeleteI can't even imagine the maintenance a topiary garden requires. Wonderful figures!
ReplyDeleteThe hours and patience waiting for the boxwood to grow around a wire frame so it could be trimmed to a shape.
DeleteWhat a fun place to visit. Teddy said he loves the bears best. ;-) - Anne (Cornucopia)
ReplyDeleteI loved the bears best, too. Teague and I got our picture taken in front of them
DeleteAll those topiaries must take a long time to keep looking good. I thought that was a cat, too.
ReplyDeleteIt looked more cat than dog - CJ
DeleteI've heard about this garden and have wanted to visit it. I really enjoyed your photos CJ. I think you had a fun visit.
ReplyDeleteWe had a good time there. There was also another exhibit there which I will share on Thursday
