Love that second photo!
We will have to visit when you come over! They are selling it this year though…so afraid someone will just buy it and destroy everything.
We will have to visit it, provided it’s not sold by then….
Both beautiful gardens Leya. The first quite formal and the second more naturalistic. Mine is overrun with forget-me-nots too, but they are so pretty in the spring.
Thank you – I love forget – me – nots too!
Min drömträdgård. Fantastisk
♥
Wow, both of these are marvelous! I’d take either. 🙂

Me too, Janet. if I could keep them in that shape of course…
That’s always the problem with really good gardens–they all take lots of work. Even the English garden that looks as if it were just a bunch of random flowers is anything but.
Yes, true…but I love walking in gardens and enjoying them, immensely. Happy I do not have to work there – only getting the benefit of it all…
I feel the same.
Wow…this is just lovely.
Thank you so much, Arlene!
Stunning photos, Ann Christine. The colours are so vibrant. I’ve always loved willow trees.
Thank you – I love all willow trees !…except our neighbour’s…Its roots grows under our house and causes terrible things to happen with our basement flooding and…more.
That’s a great pity. It’s obviously been planted too close to the house. 😦
Yes, but it grows across the street- about 15 metres from our house.
Yikes! 😯
Why don’t you create a Swedish garden by yourself ? …
Oh, Awa…I am a hopeless case there…I have got about 150 potplants indoors – rather good at that. But my garden…is wild and untamed. It takes too much time and effort for me. We travel much too, so my poor old parents would be forced to live here, in our house, to help me keep up a fancy garden…
Beautiful pics of beautiful places – however, I’m on quest to have wild untamed garden that is also alive with color and beauty – who knows? If it works, then, perhaps, me and thee can have the best of both worlds – however, fairly sure nothing I do will look as neat and prosperous as the above – – LOL I still have last year’s dead stalks hovering over blooming spring beauty – it’s there, cuz I learned the hard way it protects against late spring blizzards/cold temps AND early summer hail — LOL
I agree – and I also keep the old stalks for a while. This year to no avail, my magnificent magnolia -and the lilacs too – (!) are all black and gone. It has never happened before. 6 degtrees below zero three nights in a row…sad story. For the birds too.
150 plants indoors? That is a great plantation!. Now I understand the lack of time for outdoor garden 🙂
