Beautiful Grosse Pointe Gardens

Recently I was astonished by the amazing patio garden at Sierra Station in Grosse Pointe Park. Now I have the opportunity to present some recent photographs from the Grosse Pointe garden that supports it.

The container plants that are always looking so perfect at Sierra Station rely on the nursery beds at an equally amazing garden at the owner's home. A great collection of perennials provides structure for annuals and containers that are part of the restaurant's patio collection.

Just look at that front porch - the abundance of blooms, the profusion of varieties.


In the rear yard a long border of daylilies and oriental lilies is interplanted with annuals and accented by hanging baskets. My garden photography tip of "look toward the light" is well illustrated in these images:


Thanks to Grosse Pointe Magazine for choosing to feature this garden in an upcoming issue. Maybe you will see one of my favorite closeups:
