All summer I’ve shown various pictures of the roof garden but have totally forgotten about the front. This is one of the areas in front of our building.
These are still blooming — and so pretty to walk up the pathway and see!
This is on the other side of the walkway up to the front door.
They’ve just planted these mums. The colour is absolutely glorious!
This is yet another part of the little garden areas that line the walkway up to the front door.
As is this — with more of the little roses.
All the rain this summer made for some very green grass.
Walking up the ramp to the building, we noticed that one of the trees had tons of these on it. I have no idea what kind of tree it is but am guessing these are some kind of seed pods? They’re really interesting looking.
On either side of the front entrance, there are two urns with plantings. The plantings change throughout the year. This is the current one.
And, once we get home, look at this — one of the boys waiting for us!

How cute, Lester, waiting for y’all. Oh that’s funny. I quite enjoyed all these lovely photos you’ve shared. Neat plant with the pod things. Very cool. Enjoyed it all and thought the roses were very sweet and then saw the Mums and boy wont those be lovely. Subtle Beauty Love, *karendianne./ Living Life at LeeHaven

Wow! Those gardens are beautiful! You’d hardly know that you live in the middle of a large city! Those seed pods are probably honey locusts. I love their sort of exotic look! Is that Lester? He certainly is a handsome dude!

The garden/plants/flowers looks so pretty. I think Lester is thinking, “it’s about time you got back.”

Beautiful gardens!BTW, when I thought I would do hand quilting I purchased several packages of John James quilt needles. If you send me your address I’ll drop them in the mail to you if you’d like them.

Love those seed pods! Since I’m a little behind in my comments (2nd week in Oct), I’m guessing things must be looking orangey about now!
