NO SPACE TO GARDEN

When there is no space to garden, yet there is, indeed, a garden it speaks of the gardener not the garden.

Passed this little garden, above, during an open garden scheme in the Cotswolds.

PUPPET BARBUDA sees: charm (remember CUTE KILLS), perfection of scale, field gathered plants, rescued hardscape items, sharp eye for color on the door, Vanishing Threshold, contrasting foliage texture & color, stone softened with plantings (my rule of JUST LET IT TOUCH), fabulous maintenance, low maintenance, modesty of checkbook (PUPPET BARBUDA is disgusted when someone says, "I don't have money to garden"), joy in the gardeners hand-heart-eye (ha, mind-body-spirit).

I can relate to the small space gardens in the Cotswolds.
I had a beau who lived in Stow on the Wold whose back yard was a 6 x 12 beautiful stone courtyard.
I bought him a fushia plant at a plant sale at Hidcote one year and it nearly filled a corner after just a few months.
Beautiful area of the world !
I adore the stone from that region, and the gardens aren't too bad either.
