Beth Winter's garden, my second visit

I've shared a pair of quick vignettes from Beth's garden (here and here) but finally I'm posting a longer look. Granted it's still not long enough (for a look at my first visit back in 2015 go here). I was there to take a few photos for my book (due to be published in 2021, sigh...long wait) and so that was my main focus. Then we ran off to have a delicious lunch and visit a nursery. Still, I think you'll enjoy...

Beth has exquisite taste in plants and garden art. Since you probably know I am not a fan of most garden art, that's a huge compliment.

Acorns on her cut-leaf emperor oak! Quercus dentata 'Pinnatifida'

Cornus sanguinea 'compressa'

Just one of many photogenic vignettes...

You knew there were going to be agaves, right?

And opuntia, of course...

Those large rocks are actually big chunks of glass.

More rusty stuff...

This entire section is new since I last visited. Oh and since I was there in August (think hot and dry), the sprinkler was hooked up.

Semperivium and Graptoveria (I think).

Those geese are just as impressed with her Symphytum × uplandicum 'Axminster Gold' as I was.

And the Salvia argentea was pretty fab too...

I think this may be that crazy acer I saw in Richard Hartlage's garden; Acer palmatum 'Peve Starfish'

And this! The ornamental peach I adore...

But now it's time to appreciate Beth's container collection, par excellence...


I mean really! Look at this...

So many gorgeous combinations of plants and containers...

And here's where they all go in the wintertime...

Okay, sadly it's time to take our leave.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit again soon, and wander the entire garden...
