Looking down on your garden gives you a chance to study the design and exposes any re-shaping of beds that is required. So we occasionally take photos from our upstairs windows. The photos of parts of our front garden in early spring show the design based on circles and flowing lines with grass reduced to a minimum to give a route which is soft underfoot.
We shall take the same views in different seasons to see how effective the design is through the seasons.

A grand idea and such a pretty spot to have tea!
Thanks Margie, we specialise in pretty spots to have tea. We have 9 such places in our quarter acre.

A great birds eye view and you have so many different plants… really lovely.
Many thanks for comments. Looking down on your plot spotlights different things to those you notice when wandering with your feet on the ground.

Great to see your garden from this perspective. My own garden often seems best from above.
It is interesting to look at your garden from different places. When i designed our garden originally I tried to include a viewpoint from each window. Another idea for a blog?
