GPOD on the Road: Garden Tour in Toronto

Unusual sculpture in a private garden

We ’re with Cherry Ong today , tagging along on a garden go she did earlier this year during a stumble to the Toronto area .

According to the brochure Cherry have for the tour , this timberland planting is the garden of a professional nurseryman who likes to garden in harmony with nature , using nothing but fallenleaves to fertilizeand enrich thesoil . Here you could see a diversity of beautifulfernsas thrive in those conditions . If you opt the right works for the correct place , they ’ll thrive without a lot of added inputs .

understandably this nurseryman collects things besides interesting plants . This compounding of stones and skulls construct the garden ready for Halloween every daylight of the year .

There is really beautiful contingent in thehardscaping . The large , dramatic rock is unsanded andnaturalistic , contrasting attractively with the formal , unbowed lines of the paving around it .

This stonework is incredible ; I ’ve never fancy anything like it . Beautiful and dramatic , these stone almost look like living things rising up out of the ground .

A minimalist Harlan Stone carving

This round , metal sculpture contrasts beautifully with the trees behind it . The silvery proboscis look like those of beech trees ( Fagusgrandiflora , Zones 3–9 ) , one of our most beautiful native trees .

These appear to be self-propelled parts , transmute into stepping - Stone through thewoodland garden , with all sort of fleeceable treasurers grow around them .

Maturetreesare the best garden feature potential . I love this scene up the trunk of a mighty giant in the garden , which provides theshadeand leaf litter that the industrial plant below ask to thrive .

Have pic to share ? We ’d love to see your garden , a special appeal of works you screw , or a wonderful garden you had the chance to visit !
