Here’s a Peek at a Back Bay Hidden Garden

Have you ever wondered about those gardens behind the walls along the Back Bay Alleys? We were dinner guests of a friend with a charming walled, English-style garden in the rear of his home.

Penny has always been a fan of green and white gardens, especially those that are used the most in the evening. This corner is a great example of a charming use of that concept with just a pop or two of color.

Accessories are fun in a garden. As your eyes move around, you see one interesting object after another.

Comfortable seating and handy tables added ease to the hospitality.

A dining table gives options for dinner or for working in a lovely setting.

Notice the bed of herbs near the door leading to the kitchen.

We were totally enchanted with these roses that seemed to be growing in bouquets.

It was so quiet and peaceful that it was easy to forget we were in the heart of the city – until we looked up!

    If we had a garden like this, we’d fill it with potted flowers, tomatoes, and herbs.
