Absolutely gorgeous! What an enthralling garden, so beautifully designed and so carefully maintained. That is quite an achievement and a great inspiration.

I doubt my garden will ever reach that high pinnacle of refinement, but it's fun to imagine the possibilities.

Beautiful garden! While I aspire to get something like it, I doubt I will ever get close. Its hard to believe that its only on a standard residential sized yard.

Yes it does seem much larger.The curving paths and the plant vignettes on an intimate scale help achieve that allusion.

Guys, it started off as a single residential yard, but he purchased the adjoining properties...I think it is the equivalent of three residential lots now...not sure how large in total but would assume it would be close to half an acre.

However, in saying this, he has certainly created the illusion that it is larger than that as well...

Ok that makes a bit more sense. I watched a couple youtube videos of his place and one of them mentioned that the garden is less than 3000 sq meters (3/4 acre)

1/2 acre is big enough. The gardener also gets older as the garden ages. Being that meticulous, I can't imagine maintaining a sprawling garden and still paying that much attention to detail. This is a case where smaller is definitely better :winkie: .

No one cares about your current yard temperature 🙃
