More Madison Gardens: Part II
What strikes me about Mark's & Linda's garden is how careful maintenance is part of the whole...sometimes accompanied by the mutterings we gardeners can make, but mostly practiced with loving kindness and self-knowledge. This garden & its gardeners are a testimony to process. After all, isn't that the real joy of gardening?
Mark does most of the hardscape, Linda is the plants person.

Oh, it's so interesting to see our garden through someone else's eyes! You really caught the pattern in the raked gravel; it's most noticeable early and late in the day when the sun is low.
Thanks for all the kind words. Be sure to see what the teahouse is looking like now that Mark has added the styrofoam wall panels that will eventually get covered with stucco. Completely different feeling.
How lovely to see some of your father's work in SF. That is the nicest kind of surprise!
Well, I learn to see gardens in such a different fashion when I am looking at them with you. And then getting to know your garden over time is a gift.
I look forward to more pictures of Mark's evolving teahouse.
Love this garden. Thanks for sharing.
