Dog-Path Garden Bench

Halfway along the Dog-Path there is a simple seat built from an old picnic table top.

There are sedums planted underneath and a pink Iceberg rose behind, with clumps of variegated Japanese Irises and other assorted plantings.

An Upwardly Mobile Seat

The large white pole is part of the irrigation system for the gardens over the water race. Sitting in the Dog-Path seat while the irrigation is on could be interesting...

The Dog-Path seat originally was a metre upstream, and there were no connecting paths or roses nearby. This older photograph shows the original plantings of yellow pansies.

It's a little too sunny here in mid-summer, but the sounds of the water rushing by create a delightful ambience on clear winter days.
