Precious Gems -- Jewels of the
Garden
Our Pond and Garden at the
2002 Southeastern Flower Show
Scenes from the Garden
 |
One of the nicest views of the pond and garden was from the back of the waterfall. We were lucky to have a section of the building where the roof was high and lined with windows. Notice how the sun falls on the Coral Bark Japanese Maple at the front of the pond, setting it ablaze with color! |

Here is a view of the pond and garden very few were able to see. This shot was taken from the back of the garden almost immediately below the huge River Birch where trees and flowering shrubs were abundant. | |
 |
This shot is very similar to the picture published in the garden section of the Atlanta Journal & Constitution (2/23/02). Notice the large, lovely umbrella palm in the foreground. This umbrella palm is a 3rd year plant, having survived one winter in the Oriental pond, countless salt treatments and one winter indoors where the store kitties tried to destroy it. | |

This is the first glimpse of the arbor waterfall for those who entered the garden from the left. | |
 |
This is the 2nd glimpse... | |
 |
A cast-iron birdbath in the shape of a sunflower was nestled in among the trees and shrubs, highlighted midday by the wonderful splash of sunshine the garden received from the windows above. | |
 |
The sun played games with the garden, casting shadows and offering loads of picture-taking possibilities. These globes were the bit of "whimsy" added to the delight of the koi who used them as basketballs! | |
