Wouldn't you like to live on Pleasant Street?
For having such long winters, this Cape Cod Garden celebrates the summer. I walked by this lovely garden every day. Thought you'd like it too, its carefully orchestrated colors cover the clear bones of its structure: patios, paths, urns and evergreens.

This is the view from the sidewalk. I'd love to see what the garden looks like from inside the house. |

Greys, whites and pale pinks are the color scheme in the upper garden. |

The garden steps down several levels between one street and the next. On each level is a paved terrace to enjoy the view. |
This is the last of my Cape Cod vacation postings. Back to Portland, Oregon.
Hi Patrick: Love the contrast of the linear geometry of the hardscape with the billowing horticulture. Ah, Nicotiana sylvestris. Such a stalwart self-seeder for me. Say, I'm now at www.LouisThePlantGeek.com. A new uncommon and astonishing plant, from my own garden, no less, every day. Louis
