The Garden at Night

The garden is slowly waking up and young shoots are emerging in the borders and meadows, but the days remain fairly unexciting. At night, however, a fairy tale scene unfolds: The still mirrors of the ponds reflect skeletal illuminated oak trees, and the tea house glows softly like a paper lantern. The wooden sculpture in the Rockery is also gently lit, embellishing a dark tapestry of evergreens. Taking a stroll through this magic landscape is a treat!
