The "Secret" Garden Tour Part 2

Welcome back to the "Secret" Garden Tour. Today I will take you in behind the home which stands on this beautiful property.

The pictures I am about to show you was Hubby's favourite spot.


This is the duck pond. Isn't it lovely? I love how the trees are reflected in the water.


My hubby grew up on the water so this was especially appealing to him. 


So peaceful! I could sit there for hours and sip on my tea.


Hubby could have spent the rest of the evening here but there was so much more to enjoy. Now let's go up the slope toward the house....


Close-up....


Clematis, vines, and myriads of flowers showcased this charming home.


There is such a bounty of blooms everywhere....


Another birdhouse....Our little feathered friends really live in style here!

This is one of several hammocks on the property. Ahh...this is the life!


The little cottage garden I am about to share with you is called Martha's Garden, named for the lovely lady statue which is the centerpiece of it.


Would you care to sit for a spell and enjoy the beauty in this darling spot? See the squirrel? He is enjoying Martha's Garden as well. Such an enchanting spot!


I am so happy you have joined me today! Perhaps some of you may have guessed where it is I have taken you. 

Please come back again tomorrow as we finish up our "Secret" Garden Tour and I will reveal whose garden this belongs to. Have a lovely day everyone!

  2. I too could sit by that water for hours. I don't think I would want to read, or do anything but soak up the beautiful surroundings. What an absolutely stunning garden.

  9. Hi Sandi
    I think we could all live very comfortably at this house and I know the plants and views very well.
    It would be a pleasure to sip tea on the dock, all 3 of us.
    ( I'm sure there's another chair around)
