ESPALIER: Peaches and Pears in our neighbor’s garden. Photo sharing

Filed under: Gardens — tmooresr @ 11:22 am

This exquisite “ESPALIER” garden is so beautiful.  I enjoy it every day as I drive past.  I wanted to share these images with you.  The art of “espalier” is an ancient art of training wooded plants like pear and apple trees.  King Louis XIV covered his garden walls at the Chateau of Versailles, and the technique spread throughout Europe and North America.   The garden has a very English feeling.  Enjoy.
