A Peek Inside Rosedale Gardens
|
I had the opportunity to attend the Toronto Botanical Garden tour last week. This year the gardens were in the Rosedale neighborhood. What an opportunity it was to see some mature and well established gardens and to see some newer and updated gardens in the area as well. Also some interesting hardscaping. As many people ooh'd and aah'd at some of the plants, I couldn't help notice the steps, garden edging or water features. There really is a lot that goes into creating a great landscape and as much as I love the plants, you can't forget about some of the hardscaping details.  | | The attention to detail here, the stone walkway and wall match the stone on the house. |
 | | Simple straight lines of the walkway, match the straight lines of the garden. |
 | | Dated walkway updated with natural stone edging. |
 | | In addition to being an attractive feature, this wall also allowed better use of their sloped front yard ... |
 | | ...and accommodated the existing grates in the sidewalk. |
I hope you enjoyed the glimpse of Rosedale and can see how hardscaping elements can help take your garden to a new level.
