Secret Garden Situation
Shhhh! Be ver-wey ve-wey quiet…Nantucket is home to many secret gardens, but if you walk too loudly by them, you may not see. So let me ver-wey quietly show you.
You see, secret gardens are some of the best kind. Cared for lovingly by skilled gardeners and happy home owners.
Eye candy for passersby.
they are the jewels of this island
Not always fancy, some looking like they have been there forever
Others very manicured
And still others perfectly natural.
Gardens tucked way back
Sweet paths to follow
featuring many shades and textures of green.
An old mossy stone garden wall the kind that only time and weather can work its magic upon.
Leggy blooms such as this that just need a humble white fence to lean upon.
Sweet entrances quietly lure you in.
Hydrangeas a plenty with mops as big as my head.
and such the abundance of my favorite summer-time flower ever, Black Eyed Susans.
Private luxury cultivated by a delightful privet hedge.
Never a shortage of uniqueness. And remember, walk quietly.
