Rock Garden


The rock garden in Elizabeth Park is a peaceful, contemplative plot behind the perennial garden and adjacent to the annual garden.  Most of the plants are foliage plants that show off a variety of greens.

The theme for July for City Daily Photo bloggers is The Color Green.

    The kind of place where I'd like to stroll, to read and to dream..

    Brattcat's comment above is as poetic as the captions on her posts. Nice choice for the theme.

    It's a gorgeous garden! Jack, is that a bridge in the background (left) or is is an amazing trunk covered with some kind of hanging plant?

    So many different shades of green, and I like the zigzag path too. Elizabeth Park is truly a gem of a place.

    I've came back to this picture no less than 5 times, had to show my husband it too. There is something about it that just feels very peaceful. I'd like to create something like that in my yard, when I get a yard;-)
