The entrance to a secret garden is very important. It can be grand, like these two stone obelisk, or simple. An arbor covered by wisteria or roses, or perhaps a wooden gate and a simple door hint at mysteries and wonders found inside.

Many English gardens incorporate antique-looking elements, such as these two weathered stone obelisks flanking a formal entrance. Boxwoods line the path with both clipped and natural shapes to enhance the parklike effect, so typical of the formal English garden.

I just love these sculptures - they are like the one at the back of the Bangert's property (the Venetian thing)

Like potted shrubs in row

Love love love.
