Meadowyck shared this blogspot that she found in the perennials forum, and thought that you all might be interested. These gardens are beautiful, and are extremely cottagey. If you click on the link and scroll down a little ways, you can find blogs with gorgeous pictures from different months in her garden. Her gardens are an inspiration!

A beautiful cottage garden blogspot
Stunning!! Thanks for posting.
fun!
I had a chance to check it out. What a wonderful blog with a beautiful garden. So envious! I think she should make a calendar.
Thanks so much for sharing that wonderful blog. I've book marked it. She is an incredible photographer, I love seeing her beautiful garden.

Wow - this surely is something aspire to! Thanks for sharing this - it's perfect timing. We really need something like this to look at this time of year.
wish I was that good of a photographer and had a garden as beautiful.... but then my garden is only 3 years old, maybe this year towards then middle of the season mine will really be something (especially since I'm ws this year and have 250 plants that I want to ws, teeee heeeee)
will post pictures of my successes
Janet
wow janet, that is impressive.
i love it!
Pam, I have been following Carolyn Aiken's blogspot for over a year and she never disappoints her followers. She and her husband do all of those gardens by themselves. He does all the building of the arbors, trellis, etc. She is also a wonderful photographer;one of her hobbies. Check her tablescapes out too. That's how I started folliwing her blogspot. I'd love to visit her gardens and meet her in person. Her adorable grandchildren are so photogenic and Grandmom is sp porud of them. Can't you just imagine walking through her gardens in the Spring or Summer or having tea and cookies in one of the garden areas? You can get to her blogspot by just typing in the words Aiken House and Gardens. She lives at Prince Edward Island, in Canada. You could spend an hour just browsing through her garden pictures. Those roses and peonies are breathtaking. That is where I first learned about "Walker's Low" nepeta/catmint.
I couldn't find the slideshow of her gardens, only the still photos. Would you just love to vist there and walk through her gardens? Just looking at her photos gives off such peace and serenity.
what a great find. I'd love to have a 'proper tea' in the gardens.
i'm envious.
I would love to just have all her tea ware...LOL
I started a blog a while back and forgot about it now, I'm slowly building it. But I have a very young garden and nothing to compare to hers... but if anyone would like to check it out and offer up some suggestions I sure would appreciate it.

Janet, Thanks for sharing. I only scrolled through your blogspot quickly, b/c I'm supposed to be putting the kids to bed as I write, but I'll have to take a closer look when I have time. Looks great!
it is only the beginning, as soon as Iearn how to add music I will, but for now it is my online garden journal...lol
thanks
Janet
very nice Janet.
