Garden Historic House and Garden Pilgrimage part 3

This is the final look at a delicious intown, deep south garden. Read about part one here and part two here.

The iron garden gate seperates the lawn from the parterre garden.

Before we step into the parterre garden I took a quick photo of where I had been.

Now to step forward into the parterre garden.

The parterre garden is full plants perfect for the south. The garden is half sun and half shade so it's an interesting mix of plantings. The above photo is the shade side and you can see oak leaf hydrangeas and annabelle hydrangeas off in the distance.

Delicate looking Queen Anne's Lace is actually tough as nails.

The above photo is of the sunnier side of the parterre garden. Here you can see agapanthus reaching for the sky.

Beautiful double daylily.

Rose Campion.

Agapanthus and Rose Campion.

This stone balustrade adds a lot to the formal look.

Beyond the parteere garden is the pool area. These photographs are coming in from the shady side of the parterre garden.

I love how the pool slowly reveals itself.

Many potted plants make this space feel cozy.

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Hi Felicia, I am loving the historical house and gardens tour. This is one of my fave things to do when I have a sunny day off in either your country or mine. I posted a few pics of The Stencil Library garden last month. It is looking even better now that we are having a hot July.
