The gardener is a retired surgical room nurse. I love her garden and try to remember to take pictures every summer. Left unchecked I may end up doing the same thing to my garden. There seems to be very little actual lawn, no plan, no order, and no desire to have a theme. Her house is next door to NIH, in particular the employee pickup area where I scoop up old work friends for lunch every so often (the friends aren't old... but I, well, I guess I am). Right across the street from the chaotic garden is a very simple, very tailored front yard with this statue smack in the middle. (I took a bad picture; next time I'm over that way I'll take a better one.) I imagine the owner of the statue looking out at the chaotic garden and thinking "what a mess!" And of course the owner of the chaotic garden doing the same but thinking "hideous! what IS that thing?"

I've seen her out there sometimes and love her place. It has a certain cool factor.
This house has a very beautiful garden. Even if looks like it needs a bit of maintenance, it sure makes the house feel inviting.
