I think I recognize this extensively landscaped backyard from a feature in Gardens West magazine a few years ago. If I’m correct the garden is somewhere around the West Coast of BC and features several Wooden bridges and stone paths woven designed around a large multi-level water garden. As indicated by the photo title, it was part of Garden Tour a few years back, likely around the same time it was featured in a garden magazine.
Such gardens are impressive and inspiring to gardeners of all ages and levels. Whether one is an amateur, professional landscaper or following studies via botanical institutes or elearners, seeing examples of other work is vital. It provides ideas on which to build, expand. Gardening is art and science, and is by no means easy!
