lol. It's in FL.
I thought England was well-known for its gardens.
In fact the inspiration for this garden were England garden scenes.

Garden looks lovely - I'm way too lazy to spend all that time to keep one looking good. Don't have a green thumb.

Are those Amazon parrots? Used to have one - gave it to my sister-in-law. Now I have an African grey. I just love birds.

Yeah, they have some nice ones... not that I know, just happened to watch the garden show a few times after work. There was a mean ass garden on BBC2 the other day not in england I don't think but it was kinda cool, alice in wonderland kind of stuff called the garden of cosmic speculation...

wooowww. It looks unreal! Truly amazing. Thankyou for posting this BL. I wonder how hard it would be to recreate. Either find, or mold a half-buried statue form and spread air-moss seeds on it then knock a hole in the head to make a place to grow a vine-plant from or drape carpet grass over it. It's very enchanting.

I don't think I mentioned it before but the above works are my grandmother's. Gardening is her passion and it has overflowed to me.
I'm contemplating making a flower-pot garden myself because I love garden-art, including unique planting vessels and forms like the one you posted.

Hmm, can't seem to find any great photos of a flower-pot garden..all the more reason to do it.
Similar to this but with different colors, materials, and styles pots.


or this


Went to find some more photos of 'the garden of heligan'. I've heard of it, some of the photos are familiar to me. Beautiful.

Yeah, that sleeping woman one that caught my eye, thought it was in cambodia or someplace, looks buddaist, not sure whats its made of but it'd be good to follow the theme and have other sculptures like it in a garden... like a North African, egyptian one of Ausar (the green man) covered in moss, would change in the winter as well.

The greeks are good at pottery gardening I've noticed, vines and stuff like that everywhere. If you keep a certain theme with the pots themselves it makes it look more intresting... have heard that if you take it really far (gardening) there are certain plants that work well with others like some kind of planty relationship between diffrent variations that support each others bio planty systems or what ever .lol. A lot of people get exotic variations from diffrent places and have trouble with them as they need diffrent climates and conditions to survive in.
