For extra info on Nancy, try Half 1 of those collection. However, as at all times, Cherry has included loads of info and many beautiful images, so I’ll get proper to the good things:

My consideration was divided by many attention-grabbing classic backyard ornaments and containers and the gorgeous perennials planted all over the place. We entered the backyard by a gate adjoining to the storage which was warmly lit by many one among a sort classic lamps. A glimpse into Nancy’s different ardour. Her enterprise known as Luminola the place she hand restores distinctive lamps and lampshades from the previous. A few of her small and huge attractive begonias and a cool Windcliff plant (idk the identify) are additionally overwintered in the identical storage.
Upon getting into the backyard, I had cease and study all of the containers, ornaments and decor so thoughtfully curated by the backyard. There’s a small path by the shrubbery which results in the deck and garden, 2 completely new and completely different rooms.

Brilliant orange Japanese maple foliage glows above a set of rectangular stones lined up on Nancy’s porch. I completely adore when stunning crops encroach on porches and patios. It turns an strange out of doors areas into magical backyard hideaways.
A distinct view of the colourful maple reveals that it’s planted in a fairly pot. And the fallen leaves are completely overlaying the bottom in colour.
Even Cherry’s cute Frenchie, Brocc, seems to be admiring Nancy’s unbelievable crops! 😄
Avian delights welcome you at every backyard gate.
I’ve stated it earlier than and I’ll say it once more, extra folks must be planting conifers in containers! This tiny Japanese holly—probably ‘Dwarf Pagoda’ Japanese holly (Ilex crenata ‘Dwarf Pagoda’, Zones 5–9)—and hanging umbrella pine (Sciadopitys verticillata, Zones 5–9) would love unbelievable in a mattress, however get the eye they deserve in devoted (and equally stunning) pots.
One other show-stopping conifer in a pot that matches the one potted with an umbrella pine, above. That is probably a ‘Elegans’ Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica, Zones 6–9).
Nancy has so many attractive pots, she doesn’t even must put a plant in some to make an announcement. Right here, some blue glass orbs get an acceptable dwelling in an ornate pot.
A bigger orb will get the added safety of some extra vibrant inexperienced moss.
Nancy is a girl of many skills. As Cherry mentions above, when Nancy isn’t creating stunning plantings in her backyard, she is is restoring classic lamps and lampshades for her enterprise. Cherry received this superb shot of Nancy’s studio, with a desk of her superb work that’s simply as attention-grabbing on the colourful plantings outdoors.
One other nice shot of Nancy and Cherry’s canines having essentially the most superb play date in Nancy’s stunning area. This editor extremely approves of a backyard fitted to each human and canine visitors!
One final grouping of attractive containers on Nancy’s patio. Whereas containers usually get saved for essentially the most colourful annual or tender flowering crops, the facility of some improbable foliage clustered collectively ought to by no means be underestimated.
