What type of trees are these and where can I get this door? - Are there actual panes of glass or a type of plastic in the door or is it just open with nothing between what looks like iron work? »
Look closely at this photo. It's possible the whole composition is an illusion. Is that a glimpse of a secret garden through the "gate," or is that a divided light door glazed with mirror reflecting the greenery along the edge of the path? Nice trick, eh? (I love the "guardian" goats flanking the door/gate. They add a whimsical touch, making what might otherwise be an intimidating facade very approachable.)
Love mirrors used in the garden this way. I want to do this to our fences. It "blows holes" through visual barriers and lengthens sight lines dramatically, making the space feel exponentially larger. The illusion becomes even stronger if the fence is covered in vines.

This wall and doorway at the end of a garden path are beautiful. The glass could also be mirror if the view thru goes no where. Also, limbing up the Leland's at the end near the door is a great fix for when these shrubs get to large and encroach on passage or view.
I like this wall enclosure with pitched gable. I would face with stucco color matched to the Pelican Rapids Arts and Crafts Home. I would cover the stucco with Boston Ivy. I like the Green Man directly universal the entrance. I would have CCTV surveillance at this gate.
yes! -this is, so mysterious? does that gate lead to: - the neighbours house or maybe a mansion of grand proportion and wounderful architecture or possibly it is a place fora secret rendezvouses
