I've always loved gardens that have that Alice in Wonderland feel. Edward Scissorhands too.Fantasy I guess it would be? Anyway, with the weather being so unbelievable in Los Angeles, one can't help but want to spend lots of time outdoors.
I live in a canyon, so the sprawling gardens above are impossible to pull off, but I wouldn't mind doing a little garden. I don't remember where I found the image below, but it's a petite version.
As for who would pull off my fantasy backyard? I already know. Kathleen Ferguson worked for fashion designer Richard Tyler (naturally) before focusing on landscapes. Her creations have a modern and wild feel. View her gorgeous portfolio at http://www.kathleenferguson.com/.
One day, one day!
Again, this isn't one of her gardens below, but it's kind of her style. Her photos are all in flash, so make the trip!
