No need to bring a ladder--here we are utilizing the height of the parapet wall and looking south over one of the half-moon crenellations to see a corner of the Pool and peak into the Kitchen Garden.

Crab Apple Tunnel
|
|
Looking south into the Kitchen Garden. If you look carefully to the left of the higher portion of the wall you will see the structure for the Crab Apple tunnel planted with Malus toringo subsp. sargentii also known as Sargents Crab.
|
|
Similar to the above photo, but taken at ground level we see the rill at the corner of the Pool and again peaking into the Kitchen Garden we can now see the formally clipped Laurel trees.

Closer to the Annuals
|
|
Moving closer, but still standing in the Pool Garden, we see more of the colorful annuals.
|
|
Similar to the above photo, but moving to the right and looking a bit to the left, the perennial border against the wall comes into view.

A closer shot of the perennial border. The plans call for adding Delphiniums and Eremurus to this border. I expect it to be extraordinary.

A long shot of the perennial border. The arch on the left leads to the Upper Walled Garden.

It is colorful indeed. Looking over the Artichokes, we have Consolida regalis 'Blue Cloud,' a blue Salvia, and Salvia clary 'Pink Sundae.' Edging the beds are some of the 2,000 Buxus sempervirens 'Suffruticosa.'

Formal Bay trees, the Consolidas and salvias seen on the left and yellow Calendula officinalis 'Artists Selection Mix' in the foreground.The tiniest bit of the Pool can be seen in the distance.

Quite similar to the above, but taken from a slightly different spot and with a shorter lens.

South to the Distant Hills
|
|
Looking south to the distant hills we can see the Bay trees and most of the annuals. The prominent row of bright green is Amaranthus caudatus 'Viridis' with its greenish flowers.
|
|
A row of Larkspur--Consolida regalis 'Blue Cloud'--catches the afternoon light as we look south to the distant hills.
