Today’s photos are from Terry Mae. She says, “We live in Kent, Washington, south of Seattle, and have been creating this garden for many years. We have done all the work in gardens and spaces ourselves.
My favorite is the secret garden that I created in the very back corner through a trellis. My husband is the handyman for all the trellis and woodwork projects and so much more. We are retired now ..it is a place where people walk in and say, “Ahhh…”
Terry, I think we need to take you up on your offer (in your email) to send more photos. These are lovely!

Well,Terry, these pictures have certainly whet my appetite for more. I love your cheery blue toned patio furniture as well as the repetition of blue in your objects of ornamentation. Did you happen to paint this furniture yourselves? Great color choice, regardless.
Your plantings look so healthy and exuberant. Is that a purple clematis I see twining up so high in the first picture? Very cool to have that kind of flowering verticality in the garden. Compliments to your husband also for his part in creating and maintaining this lovely personal paradise.
Ahhhh. It's like a NW Tropics retreat. So lush and vibrant. And I really like the height you've achieved in the mix of plants - like a wall of flora. And if my eyes are focusing correctly, I dig the dead(?) trunk loaded with birdhouses...am I seeing things? (great use of expired garden members). I'm sure the birds love your garden nonetheless. You've created a wonderful space. I can't blame you for stealing away into your secret garden. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great. Especially that secluded patio.
Yes! More photos, pretty please ...
Well You can sure tell its Washington! Green, and more green! your yard is so lush and green. Its a beautiful retreat, Terry. I so love the fencing your husband made! I have the perfect spot for that! Happy gardening to you both! Thanks for sharing...would love to see more!
LUSH and RICH....and very lovely! I see so many different kinds of interesting foliage everywhere.I especially love all the blues you've used. I'd love to see a close-up of that cool looking birdhouse sculpture. More photos please, Terry.
Terry, love what I can see, especially the tantalizing glimpses in photo 4 of the sitting area in front of that great trellis/fence! Definitely send more photos!
Is that tree with peeling bark in photo 3 a weeping birch? Are there other trees with peeling bark in photos 1 and 2?
I really like the way you use color in your gardens, Terry. It's very rich but yet subtle... beautifully done.
Wonderful, I also like all the blue touches on furniture and pots. It is certainly lush!!
Gorgeous! They don't call this area the temperate rain forest for nothing! And I also love the blue accents - my favorite color in the garden.
Very Ahhhh inspiring!
Definitely need more photos. This is a garden I would like to come and visit. Thanks for sharing!
looks like a nice shady place to chill out in! Vancouver BC. I love switching up my garden too! I have a shade garden ... a dahlia garden, and then my tomatoes, 14 plants this year
