Our gorgeous, scrumptious autumn has included clear blue skies, made all the more impactful by the intensely white, dramatically billowing white cumulus clouds with their massive scale.

Reflecting back on a stay in Boston, where we once lived. And the diversity in the townhouses’ architectural styles that are such a distinguishing note.

Centered with a serpentine lake, surrounded by statement-making large weeping willows, the Boston Garden is the first public botanical garden in America (designed by George F. Meacham,1859). Giving a nod to this period of its design, the fresh, well kept plantings in the Victorian tradition add a floral note to an otherwise all green 24 acre landscape. The practical, but delicate in appearance, suspension footbridge is one of the garden’s distinguishing details...as is the juxtaposition of dramatic skyscrapers against the sylvan views.

Highgrove House, King Charles III home in Gloucestershire, with its noteworthy gardens created in consultation with a number of garden personages (ie. Rosemary Verey, Molly Salisbury, and Marion Rothschild, and the Bannermans). How fortunate was I to visit in 2019!

Highgrove house, the Gloucestershire home of King Charles III, was built in 1796-‘98, possibly by architect Anthony Keck; here a view of the house and its extensive gardens. The property was acquired in 1980 from the politician Maurice MacMilian. The gardens were laid out in consultation with gardeners like Rosemary Verey, Miriam Rothschild and Molly Salisbury; these gardens have been open to the public since 1996.
