At our home in Nova Friburgo we have a beautiful garden. In Portuguese it is called a Jardim. This is the area that surrounds the house, what in the USA is a yard. We don’t have what is considered formal gardens; flower beds, gazebos and or the like, but about 3000 sq meters of forest with some wrought iron fencing, potted plants and …… well trees.
At the front gate we have a brass bell to tell us you are here, a small guest house for friends and family and a Hammock in which to rest and reflect. In prior post I have written about the painted bird houses, the small greenhouse, the patio where we entertain friends and the wine cellar so you should be familiar – Hope you enjoy your visit to our garden.
What a beautiful garden you have!! I love all the pictures. It looks so peaceful there.
ReplyDeleteGinger, your garden is stunning! Oh my goodness, if I had a "garden" like that, I would move out of doors! How lovely and relaxing! It looks so hilly - I love the picture with the bench in the trees - I imagine that it is overlooking some spectacular scenery!
ReplyDeletewow wow and more wow wow.
ReplyDeleteGinger so so restful and lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't be thinking you scared off Reggie Girl ...I'm sure she has her own process going on ....all we can do is pray.
Many hugs your way,

ReplyDeleteAfter my day yesterday...that hammock is calling out my name...what time is dinner and cocktails...just come wake me up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
You live in a gorgeous place: looks like you are high on a hill, with forests all around. Beautiful! I see my word verification is "hotio"...so is your patio hot-io or cool-io?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking. I literally felt myself relax and go into serenity. Ah, what a wonderful place to live.
ReplyDeleteI would probably never leave if I lived there. What a soothing place for the soul.
ReplyDeleteThe painted birdhouses, greenhouse, & patio posts were before I found you. I will have to go looking for them!
Beautiful shoot out GingerV!!!
Love all the trees. The hammock shot is my favorite--it looks like a heavenly place to relax!
ReplyDeletebeautiful area! you are so lucky to live there. love the lamp and bell pic. awesome post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. You must live in paradise.
ReplyDeleteI loved these hillside pics!
ReplyDeleteWOW, what a fantastic garden/yard. That guest house is the best, you don't be any chance rent it out to begging blogger friends who are in desperate need of a get-away vacation, do you? :-) Lovely lovely pictures. Debby
ReplyDeleteI want to spend my next vacation in your garden. Could we did a pond next to the hammock?
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Love the flower pots... so beautiful. I would love to be in the hammock. I did enjoy my visit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place you have. But you are missing one very important piece of yard art. Me!
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a peaceful place well captured. I'd like to hop into that hammock!
ReplyDeleteGinger, I know it just kills you, being wrong, but, you are. You need more research. The whatzit has not been conquered.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so shady and tranquil. In my opinion, exactly how a garden should look! It probably smells as wonderful as it looks with the ocean nearby and the number of pine trees visible. Lovely! Thank you for the tour.
