A few scenes from the large hedged garden at Ladew. Clipped Tsuga create massive hedged walls.
Statues are hidden in side the hedged walls.
Below, a vista to the more formal topiary garden, nearer the house.
The axis between the hedged garden and topiary intersects with the axis between the rose garden and a streambank garden. At the intersection, sits this oval pool. Though it looks round below, it's truly elliptical.
Check out June 2011 issue of Smithsonian for a short article on Ladew. This is much more interesting. I really want to visit this site.
