Friday Fences - Garden 1 on the Old Louisville Garden Tour

Here's a look at Garden 1 on the July 7-8 Hidden Treasures Garden Tour of Old Louisville in the Victorian neighborhood. This one a small private garden on Belgravia Court. The fence was decorated with aged metal sunburst and whimsical critters. Notice the bottle tree to the right.

Another view of the fence behind the "pagoda" bed which was surrounded by favorite old-fashioned flowers like lilies and coneflowers transplanted from a previous garden:

An old-fashioned bicycle leans against the fence behind the the koi and goldfish pond and waterfall. A large rock on the edge gives the gardeners a place to sit and dangle their feet in the cool water:

There are a couple more gardens from this tour that I'll be showing you on Friday Fences for the remainder of July. And, as always, be sure to visit the other Friday Fence participants at Life According to Jan and Jer .
