At its heart, intricately carved wooden posts support colorful shade sail overhead cover, delivering playful charm, sensible comfort and vibrant accent in the enclosed garden space. Beneath the sail canopy, a lush pocket garden brims with cheerful herbaceous perennial flower borders, offering bursts of delightful accent color and seasonal interest. Songbirds, busy bees and butterflies abound, darting in playful dance between cupped and lace-capped flower clusters. They all seem to show off for one another in the afternoon heat. The carefully arranged plantings adorn the footing of a lush green hedge enclosure, yielding a perfumed bouquet of spice and sweetness to invite the lingering of the garden visit. Thus is a perfect pocket for casual social engagements on a warm summer afternoon. The design invites relaxation while showcasing artistic details and thoughtful functionality.
