It is not often a a designer, that you get to go back and visit a garden you made many years ago, after it is fully mature. Even less that you find out that it turned out just as you thought it would. But I had exactly those things happen to me this week. What really matters though is that the customer still sis very pleased with it. A small joy, and a bit smug, but the photos are nice.

Yes I got a free lunch. Its the North East.
@Fernapple Free lunch - miserable gits. It was worthy of a banquet with 5 piece orchestra IMO.
I had a hard time figuring this one out... but the round stone ball helped. Try more images looking across the garden with the ball in the background - as in the original.

How absolutely gorgeous!
I recently went back to the house I had to sell after my husband’s passing to see the yard and flower beds that Richard and I lovingly planted.
The young couple had ripped everything out. 
my neighbor went over and pulled as many of the gardenias, roses, and hibiscus out of the trash and actually saved them. They are growing around her house now.
I sat in my car and cried so hard. When they bought my house, they remarked how pretty the yard was. I was crushed to see it all gone.

There is nothing more ephemeral than a garden , sadly. Or perhaps in some ways happily too, it was always in some ways pleasant for me to think, that, I was involved in perhaps the one major, none perfomance, art form, which is unlikely to ever be a burden to future generations.
