Today I am sharing photos from another garden I toured on Saturday as part of The Garden Conservancy's "Open Days Program". This one - The Garden of Dorothy and John Meggitt - is located in New Hope, PA and well, let me share the description of the garden with you right from the Garden Conservancy website:
John and Dorothy Meggitt have a love of English gardens, so theirs overflows with perennials and specimen trees. The garden is approached across Pidcock Creek and up a hill where it presents itself as a wonderful surprise. It lies on the side of a valley and is designed so that views of Solebury Mountain can be enjoyed. The hillside is terraced with stone stairs, dry stone walls, and a pergola, so there are numerous places to sit, including a secluded belvedere. There is a water garden with hardy lilies, lotus, and many marginal plants. This is home to specimen koi and a large school of goldfish. A growing collection of significant statuary adds further interest. Much of the ten-acre property is in its natural state to provide a habitat for wildlife and can be explored by trails that lead to the creek.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
On to the pics:
Damn, I have work to do on mine.
John
