2014 Garden Bloggers Fling - Westwind Farm Studio

Luckily, after the punishing sun at Old Germantown Gardens, a cloud cover had formed by the time we arrived at Westwind Farm Studio. As soon as we got off the bus, I had to run through the most beautifully golden, flower-bedecked meadow I have ever seen. It made me want to roll around in the grasses and do naughty things. 

Closer to the private residence, I became fascinated with this vignette of grasses and bold-textured flowers. At every angle there was a new scene that had to be photographed. Indulge me while I share them all with you.

I believe John Greenlee, grassman extraordinaire, is responsible for many of the updated plantings around the home. Avoiding the crowds I headed to the back side of the garden, and a pretty back side it was. 

I came across this interesting, rustic-looking building which I assume is a guest house. 

Then I began to get peeks into the main garden - 

Why yes, I do believe this studio would be an excellent place to practice my deep breath. 

And then looking back at the garden from inside the yoga studio - 

So nice to see plants given enough room to spread out. I always see Helleborus argutifolius reaching for light or overgrown by other plants. 

Pool with a view -

A substantial outdoor fireplace, to say the least - 

And a calm front entrance -

I like this plant combo. Not sure what the coppery shrubs are though. 

And finally a great view - 

Westwind Farm Stuido was a lovely ending to our first Fling day.
