Gardening without the plants

As we two wandered around some of our local gardens as part of the garden safari I was reminded  that truly beautiful gardens reflect the personality of their owners. These outdoor rooms reveal quirky and intriguing features often made from what's on hand - a seaside garden with a whale tail carved from wood, a painted owl hiding in the trees, a water feature with metal lilies rising skyward.
 
I loved the ripple effect (of course!) of using dark pebbles and light pebbles as part of a garden path. And from her position in a large pot this slender lady welcomed us to her garden. Her dress is made from fabric and buttons and sealed to withstand the elements.
 
I immediately went home and put out a bowl of water and honey for the wax eyes and silver eyes that occasionally visit.
