This woodland screen was created by landscape architect Brian Higley for a garden in Garrison, New York. He says, "This stick fence screens a small sitting deck in a woodland garden. While it's made of totally natural woodland materials (sticks), it is a prominent, somehow bold feature that draws one to the quiet destination."

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 new posts delivered to your inbox each morning so you'll always remember to take a look, or subscribe to our RSS feed. 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.

Yes some of the posts are live trees, large and small. Those are the best ones. One of the small trees is now dead, and the others were oak branches, but were more work to install and not too permanant. They are already rotting only after two years. But the client would rather keep replacing and keep the look, rather than have pressure treated or the like. Posted: 5:40 pm on July 12th
