The jury is out whether this is some drug induced extreme gardening frenzy (which in my neighbourhood is unfortunately the first thing that comes to mind and the subject of my next post) or someone with too much time and come to think of it, too many hands.
I'll be watching who comes out that front door though......what does the garden say about them I wonder?
wow Lilly what a beautiful garden, but you are right, the upkeep must be time consuming. I'm betting your neighbour is a retired perfectionist!
ReplyDeletemaybe this is the way they manger their anger...in any case I'd love them to lend me a scissored hand!
ReplyDeleteMemories of Jack Nicholson trying to manage that maze in 'The Shining!'
ReplyDeleteToo much time....for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteLilly , this garden says to me that this person loves a very structured life and would have a heart attack if a hair was out of place!
ReplyDeleteNot my cup of tea at all.

That is too amazing! Really gorgeous, but it would sure take a dedicated gardener to keep that looking good. I can't even manage to keep the weeds at bay. Sheesh! You must be living in an upscale neighborhood because they probably have a live-in gardener.
ReplyDeleteN they have to be uptight Type A owners. While its kinf cool it would drive me crazy - it would need a lot of upkeep!
ReplyDeleteI love how they did their topiaries, Lilly!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!
Lovely garden to look at, and really adds to their curb appeal.
I bet they are very detailed, caring people who take great pride and pleasure in making a picture through shapes of the living things in their garden:)
I think their hair style will match the garden.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the gardens at the museum in my hometown. Maybe professionally done? Or the home owner has lots of time on his/her hands.
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteMy garden's a mess at the moment...
Me likey! I like the garden especially since this type of work is rarely seen in what seems a relatively small space. Me likey - that you're back. Missed you. This does require one to be a bit of a fuss-budget.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it is pretty amazing! And whover it is, is certainly adept at doing this artistic work...! To each his own---Art!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like it but you so have to let us see a picture of who lives there, dare you.
ReplyDeletegreat looking garden and that was a good movie.
ReplyDeleteThis must be someone who is a perfectionist.
Edward Scissorhand...you've got me in stitches... I LOVE that kind of garden. Do you know Nicole de Vesian's Garden? I am a big fan. Here are a few pix... more ES's at work...hahaha

Wow - the garden is beautiful! I don't have a green thumb and if I take anything sharp to the garden, it will look butchered in the worst way :)
ReplyDeleteNow that looks a bit too involved for me. I dont like to garden with a ruler in my hand to make sure everything is even and sculpted to the right height. Would drive me insane.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks nice, but I couldn't live with it, I like a wild look
ReplyDeleteIt, um, kinda' creeps me out a bit..!
ReplyDeletePersonally I think that someone with obsessive compulsive tendencies lives there - you must find out..
ReplyDeleteOh dear, it is such a small area so a bit over the top I think and must be so hard to kep under control and to keep even both sides. I also would love to knwo who lives there. I am imagining a very coiffed and stiff hairdo, lol.
ReplyDeleteThe garden is beautiful. The house is beautiful. I love the decor around the edge of the roof and balcony. I noticed and admired them when I visited Melbourne and Sydney.
ReplyDeleteHi Lilly, Hmm, I'm guessing someone with OCD lives in this house :-)
ReplyDeletexoxo jj
I don't think I could live with it = It's much too organised for me. I love to see freefalling roses and sprays of flowers ... in rounded beds.
ReplyDeleteI would love this kind of garden but not sure I could afford the upkeep - timewise.
ReplyDeletespringtime starting soon?
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the next weather report from you.
Oh I so would not be able to handle a garden like this however lovely it may look. I love cottage gardens best of all - you can hide your mistakes and the weeds.
