Dan Pearson's Garden, Hillside

This photo shows Dan Pearson’s garden sitting in perfect harmony with the landscape it is apart of, running along the hillside slowly rising to the side of the house with a gentle path that looks comfortable winding slowly upwards towards his house. Instead of being a usual up and down garden found on hills the design instead guides you along the contours of the land surrounded by an enormous mix of planting that feels like it would make a one minute walk for me into a twenty minute stroll. Everywhere you look in the garden there is interest, whether it be in the plants colour, form or texture. In this photo I am particularly amazed by how the purples running throughout the garden are almost reflected upon in the sky’s pink-blue hue.
