What makes an exceptional garden to you? [Video]

For Rebecca Sweet, an exceptional garden goes far beyond just the expert application of design principles like perspective, sightlines, color, texture, and form.

An exceptional garden is one that makes your heart skip a beat. It’s the kind of place that gives you a sense of awe, where even as you approach it, you can feel your pulse quicken. Take the gate in the video, for example—it’s a masterpiece in itself. But as you get closer and peek through the circular opening, it’s a heart-stopping moment. It creates a profound sense of wonder and mystery, setting the stage for the experience that follows.

Once inside, the garden continues to captivate. Breathtaking plant combinations showcase a skillful use of color and texture, making it clear that you’ve entered a plant lover’s paradise. But it’s not just about the visuals; time seems to slow down as you stroll through the garden. There are countless intricate details to discover, each adding to the overall sense of enchantment.

This is what defines an exceptional garden for me.
