Digging » Gardens on Tour 2010: Forest Trail garden. The next garden I visited on Saturday’s Gardens on Tour 2010 was the Forest Trail garden, located in Tarrytown, the same west Austin neighborhood as the Bridle Path garden.
The most eye-catching—and nose-catching—scene in this garden was a stunning star jasmine vine, in full bloom, arching across two sets of French doors on the front terrace. Ah, to sit under this fragrant arbor and watch the world go by. The front of the home was nicely landscaped but mainly lawn, as I recall; I took no photos of it. The main garden was along a broad, sloping side yard that led from the street all the way down to—get this—the back yard of the house one street over and cattycorner from this one.
A docent explained that the two homeowners had agreed to share the space, landscaping their yards in harmony and without privacy fencing, and both properties were viewable on this tour. Design Seeds.
