Hey GPODers!
We’re hitting the street once more and at this time’s images come from Wendy Quereau (see her backyard right here A Backyard Stuffed with Favorites). In a slight twist to our typical ‘GPOD on the Street’ submissions, Wendy didn’t should journey far to get this backyard inspiration. She is fortunate sufficient to have a wonderful backyard vacation spot proper at her finger suggestions:
I’m lucky to reside in the identical city the place the marvelous public pleasure backyard named Chanticleer is situated. It’s a by no means ending supply of magnificence and inspiration for our personal gardens. The primary shot under is from my backyard the place I’ve lived for 45 years. The remaining images are from a latest spring walkabout at Chanticleer.
In the event you’ve been a Superb Gardening reader for some time now, you’re very aware of Chanticleer Backyard. We’ve had many GPODers share images of their visits through the years (GPOD on the Street: Chanticleer, Springtime at Chanticleer, and Water Options at Chanticleer to call a number of) and we’ve had a number of gardeners and horticulturalists contribute to articles in print and on-line (Spring Backyard Design Inspiration From Chanticleer, 8 Methods to Create Crowd-Pleasing Containers, and What Do Chanticleer Gardeners Do in Winter?). You’d assume we’d get bored with this place, however there may be at all times one thing new to see and get inspiration from. Wendy’s latest go to is not any completely different.
From Wendy’s dwelling backyard: Outdated deciduous azalea blooming with Calycanthus ‘Hartlege Wine.’ — An beautiful plant pairing, Wendy!
Eye-catching mixture of tulips backed by flowering shrubs.
Pretty use of wisteria. — A part of what makes Chanticleer endlessly inspiring are the ingenius methods they make the most of crops in designs. From container shows with mixtures or preparations you’d by no means think about to creating plantings that some may by no means have imagined can be attainable. When most of us consider wisteria, we consider the enchanting look of the purple flowers climbing up a wall or trailing down from massive arbors. As a substitute of an adornment to a man-made construction, this wisteria appears to be like to be left to it’s extra pure kind.
Continuous surprises at Chanticleer. — One other working example: These eye-catching variegated fox tail agave (Agave attenuata ‘Ray of Mild’, Zones 9-12) are much more eye-catching rising out of a wall!
A river of meandering moisture-loving Camassia in all its glory.
Very blissful lush primroses.
