I will try to add smaller pics

ron

I missed getting a shot of the super tight arborvitae hedge bordering this upper garden

Very nice Ron, they fill my screen on laptop just as much as the larger pics do.

What's that tall narrow tree in second to the last pic?

Picea glauca 'Pendula'

many of these he got when Franks went out

he also asked me to help identify his plants

you don't have to squint much to see elephant

more later

Impressive collection of plants. Does Vladimir maintain the grounds by himself?

Vladimir has a friend , Bill I think his name is , who helps

now I see a comment with pics from 2 days ago has shown up ,,,, oh well

WHAT A FUN YARD !

ron

A real wonderland of amazing beauty.

I might be afraid of those 'creatures' running amok! ;-)

Thanks for the postings.

Wow! What a great place. It's like an enchanted garden out of a story book. I love it. Thanks so much for sharing Ron.

I actually like the garden art a lot. It adds movement and a fun whimsical feel. Looks like I've been inspired to find some garden art.

lots & lots of statuary

he must have 100 pieces

& lots of mature plants

I think I will do a post of just dwarf Albertas

ron

And no one has mentioned the plants in the third pic - P. p. ' Glauca Globosa ' grafted on standard with P. a. form Pendula grafted underneath

truly novelty plants , but kinda nice when mature

ron

Very nice indeed! Good work by all. We are having a heat wave and so it's nice to stay inside and look at photos like this!

have a pic of the pond to add

ron

can't see the fish

Wow! What a place. We need drone videos!

I have a friend at work that has a drone bizz on the side,,,that would be COOL

Thanks for posting all the pics Ron, and tell Vladimir it all looks awesome.

Some nice mature specimens, the glauca 'Pendula' must have some age to it. That serbian in the front is quite impressive as well. Looks like he has a lot of bagged mulch to get to lol.

Holy smokes, that's a lot of weeping norway spruce! (not in a bad way).

I like the 2 rusty reptiles under attack, and the mermaid.

How much area is Vlad working with here? And how long has he been at it?

Vlad says 3/4 acre . he built 46 yrs. ago

he has whole collection of weeping beech I didn't get to

and mature plants galore....birds nest spruce growing up sides of DAS

and Ryan , I need help with id of plant;

strobus

or anyone
