Few things help me relax and come to my senses like spending time in a beautiful garden.
A few weeks ago, I discovered Michael Trapp's garden designs and I knew what my letter 'G' would be.
Michael Trapp's style is quite unique. As a collector, an antiques dealer and traveller, he is a master at combining unusual objects and dramatic ornaments from different cultures, eras and styles.
He incorporates them to create environments that feel out of this world: dreamy and enchanting, shelters where time cannot track you.
Have a look at the photographs of his interior and landscape designs on his website at http://www.michaeltrapp.com/ (under 'projects'), and check out the pictures of his garden pavillion: it's the perfect writer's retreat!

G is for gorgeous. The Secret Garden and Alice in Wonderland combined is a great description. Whimsey and old world charm.
ReplyDeleteFortunately the weather is supposed to be beautiful here this weekend as I've got some trees to plant. Good G post.
Great pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the reflecting pool in the second to last photo.....so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos! I wish we had the weather here to be out in my gardens, but it's raining, raining, raining!
ReplyDeleteI agree with L.G. Smith - G is for gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love gardens and I would love to take that garden and put it under a dome so I could live in it. :-)
Beautiful! I love gardens. We moved into a new house just two months ago, and it's been fun discovering the flowers starting to bloom in the backyard. It lifts my spirits and calms my soul.
ReplyDelete@L.G.: Planting trees, I like it :-) Good luck with the weather this weekend! :-)
ReplyDelete@Keena: I love them too. And there are so many more on his website.
@mybabyjohn: I so agree. I could picture myself sitting there for hours!
@anne: beautiful, thanks :-)
@Kris: Ah, here it's great: warm spring weather at the moment. It probably won't last, but I'm definitely enjoying it now :-)
@C R: And then we could shake the dome and see plastic snowflakes fluttering down around you :-)
@Shelli: Me too. The past few weeks our garden's come to life. I can almost see everything grow!
Wow, those are some really awesome garden pictures! G is also for Glad to be following you from the A-Z Challenge.
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like any part of that garden would be perfect for writing. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! I'd love to have a garden like that. =)
ReplyDelete@Jeffrey Beesler: thanks! Great trip down memory lane, your G and H. :-)
ReplyDelete@ Misha & Sarah: I so agree. Since I discovered his designs, I've been staring at our own garden, thinking, 'Hm ...'.
