Reflection is a powerful tool in a garden design. In this garden at Chanticleer, a public garden in Wayne, Pennsylvania, the still surface of the water doubles your vision, reflecting the sky and the surrounding plants and structures, a view that is everchanging as you walk through the space.

Welcome to the Fine Gardening Garden Photo of the Day blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green. Sign up to get it in your mailbox, so you'll always remember to take a look. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you. If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to mgervais@taunton.com with GPOD in the subject line. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.
