“This sunken woodland patio provides a beautiful, private place to sit along the property line. The fence undulates with the topography, and its construction provides a pleasing texture that alludes to the siding on the existing house. It allows some micro-glimpses through, giving it a lighter feeling and overall interest.” Yet another design by Brian Higley. Thanks, Brian, for inspiring us all week!

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.
