Droolworthy photos, as always… I’d love to see Michael Trapp’s garden house. (I’d love a garden house of my own. Maybe I’ll make my whole house the garden house.)

I’m still not a Garden Conservancy member. Gasp! I know. It’s time, though. Paying for it will get me off my ass and out the door to be inspired, and sometimes, especially when you’re busy, that’s a tall order, as much as taking time to be inspired is important.

Speaking of, Brimfield spring ’12?

Susan, I love your take on Idols. Like Jenny, I am dreaming of having my very own potager just like the one in your photo. What a wonderful mix of design elements.

Wonderful images…I’ve only participated in one Open Days tour so far, but your post has inspired me to do it regularly. Thanks,

Mary

I want Michael Trapp’s garden house!! It’s absolutely dreamy! After visiting so many gorgeous gardens in CT this past summer, I can’t wait to go back – especially if they’re on the GC tour. I think I just missed them this time, so it seems a little planning is in order – perhaps next summer? Great photos today – thanks!

Thanks, Susan! That New Jersey vegetable garden is how I picture my garden next year in my mind’s eye! A girl can dream, right?

The most incredible gardens I have seen have often been anonymous creations…great work is great work indeed.

I hope to visit the Ruth Bancroft garden on my next visit to the Bay Area…I missed it last time. Glad you are a Conservancy geek like me, btw!

You know you have a place to bunk if you do decide…I’d love to go touring on this side of the country with you!

For me, as a designer, it’s all about how people move through the space, so your comment really hit home. I have to experience things in 3D to really ‘get’ them!
