Gorden Hayward
is a brilliant landscape designer.
Hayward offers amateur landscapers these guidelines:
"Don't be afraid of straight lines in forming bed edges, lawn shape, and paths, especially near the house. After all, your house is geometric; make beds near it geometric, too. Then let beds and paths curve as you get away from the house."
"......avoid putting all planting beds around the perimeter of your house
and the outer perimeter of the lawn. "
Is your garden ready for spring?

There is nothing better to me than an "Alley of Trees" to stroll between.
ReplyDeleteSpringtime?!...my Cherry blossom trees bloomed at the end of February and finished mid-March. They have already lost all their blooms and regained all their fresh green leaves.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the tiny apple tree at the curb is a bit confused, standing there bare with all of three rough leaves.
Amazing gardens, Renee.
ReplyDeleteSpring for me is the best season.
Hope everything is fine on your side.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful images Renee!
NO! My yard is dreadful right now!! Thankfully The Frugal Designer felt bad enough for me she's taking on the task of hunting everythin I need down in order to transform it.

These photos are gorgeous!!
I like his style... and no... my garden is not ready...
ReplyDeleteI'm emailing you, honey! Love this post!
ReplyDeleteI like his philosophy about straight beds, most interesting and makes perfect sense. Curve your beds & paths away from your house.
ReplyDeleteI do think being a landscape designer is next best to an architect or interior designer. Would be an incredible career. His work looks magnificent and he looks from his smile like he'd be a blast with a glass of wine at a dinner party.
Another great post Renee. Love to you xoxo
OMG, Renee, I needed this. Fresh air, beautiful gardens and a gorgeous man to look at. xx's Marsha
