I don’t think I will write much today, I will just let Marc and Rick’s Worcester Cottage Garden do the talking ……
All the pictures were taken yesterday morning (16th November 2016). I have never taken pictures of the garden so late in the year. Usually I have done it in the summer, when everything is so green and vibrant.
But in the midst of winter it takes on a completely different and mature look, the vibrant glossy summer colours now faded to faded terracottas and muted greens.
When I marvel at how everything looks so right, Marc will just pass it off and say that it was just thrown together just like that, but I don’t believe it, they such an eye, design and art having always been their career.
It’s also finding the pieces and then leaving them to weather naturally.
I would be too impatient ……..
……. everything would be too precisely positioned……..
……. and the natural look I crave would be completely lost. It is an art.
Every time I look I see something I haven’t seen before. It’s so unbelievably peaceful, it looks so effortless, and it’s such a constant source of inspiration ....... it’s Marc and Rick!
I would be too impatient ……..
so much to see there even in winter, the weathering does give it all it's own charm.... enjoy your time there

A gorgeous garden! Thanks for sharing these photos. It was fun to see what real artists do with their space. We have about 12 inches of snow, so our world is white, white, white right now.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful - I bet you could mooch around for hours there Helen! Marc and Rick do have a little piece of Paradise don't they. How's the 'mermaid hopping' coming along? Snort :) xx
